How far is tomorrow?

Video Installation

Description

This video is a tribute to the plethora of neglected historical buildings of the Mediterranean cities.

As ordinary as monuments may be, they offer cities with the aura of what they once represented, grounding neighborhoods to their past. They seem to stand still for decades, silently lamenting their neglect, while engaged in the slow, dynamic processes water erosion can cause.

This is the story of one of the many unutilized neoclassical buildings of Athens: they are made to live forever, and they would, if they were kept in continuous use, so that someone could observe and protect them from these slow dynamic processes.

As local stakeholders never feel able to resolve the matter, they hope to be able to treat them with some well-deserved care in the near future; but who can tell how much time they have left?
