Thinking slightly about Z as the winter slowly unrolled in Athens with a lot of police, demos and consumption, people both fed up and careless, a blend of disillusion and disgust muted momentarily by Christmas. A parade to something else coming on..?
[A few of my photographic films or negatives were "lost".. Medium format photographs from Iceland. Why ..?! There is so much more to answer for those public or private institutional regulators and censors always up to apply to serve 'cause' and interests. And once more recently some electronic mischiefs with a Nikon in London & in Greece (after Berlin, Istanbul with a Leica, and Tanzania with a Mamya) An era of unsafe control with reminiscences of totalitarism disparaging the air. Let's not forget as well that there were a few acts of violence, manipulation, wiretapping, blatent to total non-respect of privacy .. including a few other additional 'details' in the last ten years across the world while I follow(ed) my own path as much as I can. Too many DETAILS that some complacent institutions & persons don't ignore]
Exit from Greece: a momentous time at night when a dozen of refugees from Syria boarded the bus to Belgrade just after the Macedonian border where my luggage was extensively searched during half an hour so they wouldn't miss it. And I was told a long frightful account of how it is to reach the best parts of Europe and how much comes with it.
