Postcards from Athens takes its title from the popular #postcardsfrom_x hashtag, commonly used on social media to accompany idealized, colorful images shared by travelers. The project subverts that gesture, replacing the polished imagery of leisure with an unfiltered record of a city marked by crisis.

​

Composed of black-and-white photographs shot in Athens between 2010 and 2016, the work documents the visible traces of the economic and social collapse that reshaped both the urban landscape and the lives within it. The photographs were taken on a mobile phone using an application that mimics the framing and tonal qualities of medium-format film. At the time, I was working extensively with medium-format cameras and shooting exclusively in black and white - a way of seeing that had become instinctive. The app offered a practical continuity: precise exposure, quick operation, and the ability to maintain the same visual discipline under limited means.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
