  • On the 3rd of August 2014 at 2:30 at night I was chatting with a friend on Facebook. At some point he warned me that ISIS is heading towards my village. I replied that there is nothing to fear about, we are in our village, we are peaceful, we have no weapons. I thought that they will not harm us. <br />

Half an hour later I’ve heard the first gun shot. Most of my family were sleeping on the roof because it was a hot night. When I heard more gunshots I closed my laptop and I went upstairs to inform my father. <br />

<br />
Following the murder of a 15 year old boy, Alexandros Grigoropoulos, by a policeman on 6 December 2008 widespread riots, protests and unrest followed lasting for several weeks and spreading beyond the capital and even overseas<br />
<br />
When I walked in the streets of my town the day after the riots I instantly forgot the image I had about Athens, that of a bustling, peaceful, energetic metropolis and in my mind came the old photographs from WWII, the civil war and the students uprising against the dictatorship. <br />
<br />
Thus I decided not to turn my digital camera straight to the destroyed buildings but to photograph through an old camera that worked as a filter, a barrier between me and the city.
