Six extraordinay days in February 1987, and 40 rolls of film. From Tel Aviv to a Kibutz by the Lebanese border, to Tiberias, then down the West Bank, two days in Jerusalem, a drive south to Eilat and the Sinai, through the Negev desert, both ways. A living museum of history evident in one's eyes, heart and intellect -the traveller's presence provides curiosity and fleeting entertainment for the benefit of the humanity that has existed in that cradle of religions, cultures and history for over five thousand years. Dimitris Sivyllis was born in Athens, Greece in 1958. He was given his first Kodak instamatic 104 104 at the age of 6 and by the age of 17 photography had become his main interest and full time endeavor. In 1980 he graduated from the London International Film School and spent the next ten years as a commercial photographer in England and Greece before moving to Massachusetts in 1990 and making the transition from photography to print production and then software and website design. He taught film making in Athens from 1985 to 1987, and photography in London in 1980-81, at the Southcoast Learning Network, New Bedford, Massachusetts in 2003 and 2004, and at the Boston Center for Adult Education from 1990 to 2006. He now lives and works as a photographer and web designer with his wife near Florence, Italy. The recurring theme in his work is the contemplative observance of details in the moments of time.
