The texts and photographs published in this edition are fragments of recent solitary wanderings through the streets of Athens...

It is a small elegy to the measure of the culture that Athens has birthed, which continues to stubbornly emerge today, even if it seems uninvited, marginalized, and overlooked.

Athens remains a womb of narratives, and what it emits has enormous cohesive power. It is something that is difficult to describe and even harder to share with others who have not experienced this city. But when a common ground is found, when a common channel is identified, this bond seems to be indissoluble.

from the preface by Nikos Vatopoulos
