  • Afternoon, Wednesday 16th of September 2015. Zinkenwirt Gmerk, Berchtesgaden, Bavaria. Aysha and her daughters are now in Germany. The landscape remind me of the movie “The Sound of Music”  They walked few meters to a bus station where they were planning to take the bus to the nearest train station and fro there to continue to Munich. Few minutes after this picture was taken a van of the Bavarian State Police came and pic them up. They were taken to a refugee first welcome centre where I would meet them few hours later. Then we took the train to Munich where the were taken to the refugee centre. I wouldn’t meet them for 5 months.

  • A burned building in Ermou street. <br />
<br />
The killing of the 15 year old boy Alexandros Grigoropoulos by a policeman resulted in widespread riots that altered the city landscape. 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. 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.
