Info

The third issue of the independent magazine, Block, presents Christian Werner’s Athens (2015). A portrait of the Greek Capital series. Photographed with an M-P240, Werner produced this sketch of Athens during the summer of 2015, at the high-point of the so-called Greek crisis. The crisis was very conspicuous: empty businesses, interrupted construction projects, colours and shapes that were reminiscent of former East-block cities painted in socialist colours. Despite the melancholy, the pictures convey a positive mood, and reveal Athens as a place of new beginnings.
