A testament to the perseverance of the human character in difficult times, The Equilibrists is a celebration of 33 Greek and Cypriot artists of the new generation who, in the face of precariousness and material uncertainty, maintain faith in the physical process of object making.

Eight capsule collections emphasizing the shifting relationship between art and fashionFor eight years, fueled by Dakis Joannou's belief that "although art is considered eternal and fashion ephemeral, both are contemporary creative processes," creators from art, design, literature, film, architecture and fashion selected items from each year's fashion collection and interpreted them in the lexicon of their own discipline. Edited and designed by M/M (Paris), this publication follows the conceptual framework of the destefashioncollection exhibition at the Benaki Museum in Athens that presented the eight "capsules" (as each selection was called)--M/M (Paris), 2007; Juergen Teller, 2008; Helmut Lang, 2009; Patrizia Cavalli, 2010; Charles Ray, 2011; Athina Rachel Tsangari, 2012; Diller Scofidio + Renfro, 2013; and Maria Papadimitriou, 2014--as a fluid archipelago, emphasizing the shifting relationship between the various capsules and, therefore, the art and fashion worlds as a whole. An essay by Germano Celant charts Joannou's remarkable journey.
