A descent into the underworld, that is what Katábasis means^*. A feeling the walk in Athens had when walking from the city’s highest point at Lycabettus. Through Kolonaki where the elite live. Dexameni, Omonia the beating heart of the centre. Stopping at Polytechnio where I felt the history of the 1973 protests and into Exarcheia where protest is in every person’s blood. An abandoned Psyrri that sighed under the summer heat and finally into Kerameikos, the ancient city of the dead.

This city has left me with so many impressions from the guy on top of Lofos Strefi sharing his watermelon, The abundance of graffiti in Exarcheia that inspired me to create the series Senses Exarcheia in my senses project. The teachers at Politechnio showing their work.

In July 2025 I walked the streets of Athens from the top of Lycabettus Hill down into the city. A physical and symbolic descent while making about 1500 photos documenting the city life.
