Greek Reality

Today Greece is experiencing a great crisis –probably the greatest ever; not only a financial crisis, but also a social and a cultural one. Signs of recent violent clashes that marked the Greek society are still apparent in the prevailing atmosphere of the city of Athens.

The photographs in this exhibition, show outbursts of violence, destruction, mass gatherings, embattled police-squads, beatings, “Molotov cocktails”, burning buildings and reveal a condition that causes distress and embarrassment for the new reality and the foreseeable future of Greek society. Apart from all that, the pictures nettle the viewer’s emotions & will and convert them into a theatre of the absurd.

Place: “Technopolis” of Municipality of Athens

Duration: 19/10-04/11/12

Hours: Mo-Fr 17.00-22.00, Sa-Su: 12.00-22.00

Participate: Vangelis Georgas, Louitsa Gouliamaki, Aris Messinis, Myrto Papadopoulos,
