The city of Elefsina is home to the archeological site of Telesterion, an ancient Greek temple know for the Eleusinian Mysteries and one of the most sacred places in the region. Today the city has become a suburb of Athens, and due to the aggressive industrialisation during the XXI century many of its ancient remais were crushed to produce cement.
Elefsinian Wanderings (2024) showcases remais of ancient construction materials, juxtaposed with the materiality existing in the city’s streets nowadays. It is the result of walks between the city’s archeological area and surrounding industrial sites, guided by over-patterned concrete pathways, colourful marks and objects that propose to us a new memory from the past.

This project was developed during the Project SEEDS Art Residency (2023-24), a selection of photographs were part of the Urban Museum of Elefsina (2024) exhibition in Greece.
