Blue is the dominating colour in this Limited Edition Calendar, blue as the magnificent Athenian sky. Archival pigment print on fine art paper with a special hand-painted cardboard cover.

Traveling in Greece, talking with people, walking along the streets of Athens, photographing streets and walls, Christina and Anastasis observed the substances or materials used in these creations. Some are local and the technique is traditional of a certain place.

This print series is based on narratives related to Greece"s ancient heritage as well as on
the information of the photographs which includes a description of both the materials used to create the work and the way in which they were put together by manufacturers.

So they made a vocabulary of signs and a sort of writing with references in ancient Greek writings as Linear B.These signs are elements of nature , water , sea, clear sky and the blending is not random ....the future with the past......

Today is walking on the past ....with their hand they painted today on the past-old streetS .
In every month we can see a different surface

January ....a stroll in Athens , the street surface is covered with tiles for the blind ....its time to get organized!

February ....walking on an asphalt street

March, a stone pavement....

Spring!
March a stone walll...
April a marble path ....maybe this one that leads up the Acropolis hill....
May a patinated sidewalk and its raining!
