A graduate of The Glasgow School of Art, Mersinis previously to coming to Glasgow studied Political Studies and Philosophy in Germany and History of Art and Photography in Greece. Currently Teaching in the Department of Fine Art Photography at the GSA, Mersinis is an artist whose practice is centered around the questioning of the Photographic Image, the notion of the place as Evental Site and the translations that occurs when the light comes into contact with a photosensitive surface. Current projects include a long project on the history, locality and imagination of fundamental typologies of place that are historically present and liminal and the pursuit of a political identity in the contemporary image. Recently Mersinis is looking into a series of works involving military equipment to facilitate transmissions works around the fault line between Greece and Turkey. The works are simultaneously speaking to the nature of disseminating and intercepting of information. The geography and the politics along the transmission line is becoming more relevant in the light of recent events that deal with population migration, covert operations and political tensions.
