Detail of a weathered marble relief in strong sunlight

01

Question

What does a city look like when you only photograph its edges?

02

Idea

Collect fragments until the whole appears by implication.

03

World

Raking light, warm stone, deep shadow, no people.

04

Making

  • Weekly walks
  • Contact-sheet editing
  • Sequencing as narrative

05

Experience

A printed publication and a slow-scrolling digital sequence.

06

Result

Ninety-six plates in a bound edition.

07

Reflection

Athens teaches you that a fragment is not a loss. It is a way of seeing.
