Digital infrared photograph.Since 2012, I have been using digital infrared photography to investigate spaces and places with strong historical and cultural significance. Greekopolis is a body of work that uses this format to develop new ways of looking at the world we live in. Shot in Greece between June 15 and July 15, 2015, the project proposes a series of diptychs juxtaposing images of ancient and modern ruins to generate a dialogue between—and about—contemporary and historical landscapes and economic practices.
