«Athens 42 Days- The Undisclosed City» documents a unique moment in the life of the Greek metropolis: the 6 weeks of the lockdown of the covid pandemic in the spring of 2020. It is body of work with photographs of deserted streets interwoven with portraits of individuals in enforced isolation in their homes. The work as a whole captures not only the starkness of the empty cityscape, but also the intimacy and vulnerability of domestic life in this era of loneliness and fear. Carefully sequenced like a musical score, the book unfolds as a poetic visual journey through Athens' modern urban fabric
