Charalambos Artemis is a Cypriot visual artist and photographer based in Geneva, Switzerland. His work delves into narratives set against landscapes, employing traditional photographic techniques alongside text, engravings, and found objects. Artemis intertwines his interests in aesthetics and technology with contemporary discussions on photography's materiality, its historical associations with violence, and the politics of truth and justice within contested narratives.
