CURRENT Athens is an online platform for the non-hierarchical promotion of contemporary art.
Anna Steinberg: “Scions" was completed over the course of a month in Athens, Greece, a city that inhales a dusty, ancient past, and exhales the globalised, contemporary bustle we are so used to in the average metropolis. Athens records passage and phases through infrastructure, literature, mythology, and its ever-changing, ever-growing population. Its identity is not fixed: it surges and morphs, goaded by its legends. These photographs remove myth from the museum and set it in the streets of the city. They allow for stories to blanket a people defined by a place in time, not by history, by borders, by language, nor by custom. Tourists, grandmothers, immigrants, lovers, and fathers are all memorialised in the grand present. Modern faces are set in stone alongside a past empire.
