Using only the simplest of means—line and color—I record the landscapes I come across while wandering through my neighborhood in Ano Poli, Thessaloniki's old town. My purpose was to experience the “here” in contrast to the "elsewhere" that modern lifestyle often imposes on us. Ano Poli stands high above the modern city, where the sea and merchant ships can be seen in the distance. The fusion of houses, cables, cars, and people—the old and the new—gives the impression of surrealism within the everyday reality.
