A series of photos taken near my neighborhood in Athens at August 2017. Consisting mostly of closed small shops and abandoned vehicles. A clear sign of the enduring 10 year recession that has economically ravaged the Greek middle and lower classes.

This series tries to find points of interest in this newly formed urban aesthetic . Without forgetting the grim circumstances that created it Apostolos Zerdevas
