Synopsis

Greece boasts an unrivalled historical and cultural legacy that is nowhere more apparent than in its capital, yet Athens also functions as a bustling, modern city. In this collection of striking black and white images, Vassilis Gonis manages to capture the paradox of life in a city full of contradictions, of crowded cafés and ancient ruins, age-old religious processions and big city sprawl. His walks through the city's streets are reflected here in engaging images of everyday life shot close-up and in sweeping panoramas of Athens taken from afar.
