The book “Wet Paint” is Studio Prokopiou attempt to reckon with the their Greek heritage - in a typically ambiguous way. Looking at the pictures, we don't know whether the portraits of deities are a joke of the ancient world or a tribute to it. The intensity of the staging and the “vulgar” colors of the paints used to paint the models' bodies are both historically appropriate and iconoclastic. Prokopiou Studio's photographs are hyper-realistic and hyper-exaggerated - reality piles up and multiplies so much that it becomes myth. A key aspect of Studio Prokopiou's practice is the construction of ephemeral situations and events which, in effect, are the duo's “real” artistic work. This makes the photographs presented in the book a documentation of a performative, ephemeral situation - its sweet side effect.
