Christos Dikeakos

Christos Dikeakos was born in Thessaloniki, Greece. Since the late 60’s he has played an important role in the development of conceptual photography in Vancouver. His 1980s and 1990s photographic projects Sites and Place Names in Vancouver, Saskatoon, Athens and Berlin engage in the archaeological and the topographical interests of urban typologies. These pictures take on a recuperative historical role within contemporary urban habitations, grappling with the troubled imperialistic European legacies and settler colonialism.
