“I stop in front of the old wrecked houses. I always think of people that use to live there and are now dead. Who passed by, who lived and who was loved there. I become fixated. I try to get a picture and the old ladies stick their heads out of the buildings and ask: ‘How can i help you? What do you need a picture for?’”
Yiannis Nenes, Athens Voice, May 2010

The way they lived. Their stories. Their lives. Their loves and their dramas.

Marina showed me her photos. I think i recognized some of her images. They were houses that were imprinted in my memory. I thought of the glances and thoughts of the people passing by. Glances transient people are embedded on the half ruined walls like a foot print.
Yiannis Nenes, August 2010
