Passing through Kampos

Passing through Kampos From 2015 until 2018 I travelled several times through the route “Athens – Thessaly”. Thessaly is a geographical district in the center of Greece and the most cultivable plain of the country. I was travelling by buses, by train or as a co-driver in a car. Always holding my camera on hand, I was recording an unknown landscape to me, having lived until puberty in a little seaside village of an island and after that in the center of Athens. What mainly dragged my attention, were the human, industrial interventions in the landscape…pieces of iron and cement, simply left there in the wideness of the plain. But also, the constructions – declarations of religious faith. Little “churches” on the side of the road, (built in the memory of a beloved one) or billboards. And when I was arriving in the provincial cities of the “Plain” (mainly Trikala – Karditsa) and I walked through them…it was always the people, their look and their way…
