Greenwich
EAST REFURBISHMENT:
Greenwich is a part of the photography project East Refurbishment that I made during the 2012 Olympics to investigate the
refurbishments and changes of east London. The aim of this project is to analyze the connection
between the Ancient and Contemporary times.
The pictures have been taken using the photomontage technique. Firstly I researched the antique
watercolors that illustrated the Olympic areas in the past. I was able to find them in the City of
London Archives and V&A Archives and I took some pictures of them. Further on, I visited the
exact areas painted in the old watercolors and I took some pictures of the new elements, part of
this age. In addition I made my self portrait while playing the typical character of this
contemporary time. At the end I created new pictures combining these three elements. The idea
behind the project is to analyze the improvement and the transformation that is happening in our
life. Have we improved the quality of life? How many cultural connections have increased?
Are we conscious of the rapid transformation that is happening in our life?
