Cold Turkey refers to the unpleasant state that addicts experience when they
suddenly stop taking a substance. The book explores this experience through an arduous process that aims at the search for light, the way out to a personal redemption.
Stefania Orfanidou (b. 1989, Greece) is a photographer and an architect currently living and working in Athens, Greece. She has lived in Kavala, Thessaloniki, Madrid, Rotterdam, L’Aquila and Chania. In January 2019 she founded the architectural atelier CHORA. In her work, a personal experience or event, real or imaginary, is the starting point for fragments’ stitching and the composition of tales, where the irrational, the reasonable, the uncanny and the secret may coexist harmoniously. Her photographic work has been featured in magazines, galleries and festivals in Greece and abroad. In February 2019 she published the book ‘Pendulum’, a visual recounting of a return journey to the city of L’Aquila in central Italy. In 2020 she received the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Artist Fellowship by ARTWORKS. In 2021 she published the book ‘Cold Turkey’ and created the art installation ‘Daidala’ at the Mosque Yali Tzamisi at Chania, Crete.
