walking mind
It was after midnight and I was walking in Athens, after a nice encounter with friends downtown, sweaty and unavoidably full of expectations... At least I was full of.. It seems like every night during the Athenian summer is in search for the miraculous... At least for me. I am meeting nice and nicer people, talking about the current news, murders, fraud and environmental and architectural ethical limits. Art seems like existing someplace backstage; Hüseyin was in a way correct: in such a mystical and beautiful place art and its production and politics come in the second place; even for all of us that live in and for it. The Goya etchings were divine. I also love Angelidakis' hut on bios' terrace. I wonder how the yama looks.. Woody Allen. And I walked all the way to the parked car classifying building entrances according to flora, wood and marble. So real but still so far from now. Athens is made for walking; and thinking. Maybe we had enough of talking.

Athens...
On Sunday we drove all the way, passed through people and places, drove through the small tunnel, and suddenly as if by magic we were in Athens. But not the one we left behind.. the other one. And spent all day in Paradise. Around 6 o'clock a man called Yiannis came and took these pictures of mine, told us about secret coral caves and strange species in the underwater.

Rain on my neighbors' wall
...this morning we woke up and it was like a miracle.
The clouds were so thick and suddenly it felt like a capsule of fall in the middle of the summer. And rain came. I guess because Zeus was in town for a couple of days..

The Museum of Archaeology, Istanbul 6.7.8
Outside the Archaeological Museum, a beautiful Medusa head. So hard to believe the apotropaic... There was a great exhibition on the Artemision, a site dedicated to the goddess. Was looking for a small statue of her majesty I'd seen there two years ago but besides the help of the sweetest guards I didn't manage. Maybe I dreamt of it.. The Museum of Archeology (as it's called) is one of my favourite places here.

The Room of Emperor Hadrian, one of the most beautiful
And the remnants of Troy..
"One immediately rejects human sacrifice, although there is an ancient Ionian and ancient Attic custom which can be brought into connection here: that of the Pharmakos, the scapegoat. Once a year, during the Thargelia festival in spring, a man or a woman was led out in front of the city, scourged on the genitals, driven away or stoned, as is frequently related by the Ionian-Lydian poet Hipponax, who lived in Ephesos and certainly knew the custom from first hand experience. It is therefore conceivable that this purification ritual, and the connected killing of the scapegoat, that is of a human, took place at the altar of the sanctuary of Artemis" Text: Anton Bammer

A Day in the past. Platres, Mont.Troodos
The poster
Christodoulos and Andri Panayiotou
And old postcard...
...and some things that stay the same.
The hotel's sign, a deer.
Christodoulos was driving all the way, we passed through the dried dam of Alassia, found forgotten water resources at the uncle's abandoned house and the kids left a note; I didn't understand whom for.. Beautiful big trees appeared and the poet was coming to my mind more and more. Colonial beautiful red-bricked constructions, the house of Cleopatra, all remnants of other days, of wealth and hierarchies. I thought of India, Egypt and other explored lands. Passing the arched gate we arrived at the 1930's Forest Park Hotel. The walnut sweet was divine, Mr.Kostas with the star sapphire on his ring and its story, the pool in the forest, made us all hang between the past and the future that the present is.

Aspen
The beautiful Aspen multimedia mag, discovered in ubu a month ago. But can't get my eyes off of it. Published by Phyllis Johnson between 1965 and 1971. Each issue was a different team and each box a new experience.
Thinking of contemporary magazines that are valid and inspirational...
One is for sure Cabinet with different themes every month and the other is BIDOUN done by a great team Negar, Antonia and Lisa (between others) on art (cinema, music, food, jewelery et all) from the middle east. Keep up the good work guys!
