as soon as they had placed their phone on the photo... a mouth started to speak:

"
i am common

too

common


vae victis!
"

we are anticipating...


(and some people who live by the river rhein do experience floods)

In November

we used to play

most of the billboards in athens are empty.. kinda refreshing if you ask me... one of the few billboards with an ad was that of a casino.. no surprise...

Hello to Max and Duncan

Yes! We can do it!

an industrial park in athens

one morning i will be awake at the countryside and it will be as silent as now, here in the city and inside of me and inside of you...

i make images for a feeling, but i never forget about you..

disappearance initiated

it is not the person you imagined. so re-write your history, your memory. nostalgia only lasts as long as the dream survives your reality. only "what if?!" will remain but it will be far away and you will not have the strength to go back and look for it again cause you know anyway it will not be there anymore..
you'll keep on changing. i'll just remain the same...

leaving is easy when you got a place to go

do not reply to this email! ever!

here it is

where is it?

it is all about construction. where is the heart?

rock, slightly holy...

parking ticket expired

no comment whatsoever

even here

but maybe it is..

there are so many garages in athens... so many that i wanted to draw a connection between their way of driving and parking and the need of repair... maybe six weeks in athens (and observations) is not enough to make such a statement. but maybe it is...

cuttlings

i wanted to talk about the heavy traffic in athens, about them not taking care of pedestrians crossing, about motorcyclists without helmets... but doing that with a photo of a parked and hidden car?!

rest in peace, marta

i met her just briefly in palermo in 2009. she was with one of my friends. we both shared a fascination for life-like mannequins. she did a lot of photographs of them and i told her about my final year project at college when i used one of them.
she was only a year younger than me and died from cancer...

ahens from above... there are plenty of hills that you can climb up to have a great view over the city. i took this photo at the beginning of my stay when it was still up to 40 degree celcius during the day. not a wise idea to go for a hike when it is that hot but it was worth it.
you can notice the akropolis on the right and there is piraeus in the distance by the coast.

Athens

from late august until mid october i stayed in athens... . apart from a few days i spent most of my time strolling around town and photographing.. my camera fell down once, cracking my film back and leaving a light leak behind.. you will notice...

i guess i will try to post a photo a day of my time there...
