“Formally, Lyssiotis’ work explored both montage and photo-narrative sequences. His enduring subject has been the tactics of survival by those oppressed or at the margins of capitalism…. In the collisions and excesses of an all-pervasive visual culture, Lyssiotis mobilizes the icons of mass culture against their own commodity language.”
