“Milagro” – As water drips through stone January. 2013 如今有超过400万人生活在雅典大都市区，城市本身作为具有争议性的聚合体，内部有各种问题、压力、痛苦、贫穷…..媒体对其的渲染更加深了城市的黑暗的一面。雅典，希腊的首都，历史悠久的伟大城市，也并不能赦免这样的一面。而这些反差图像，不过就在希腊近郊不到30英里远的地方。两相对比，像是两个世界或者说两个平行空间的一个世界。沉默，寂静，遗忘，暗喻。没有永恒的美丽，只有无尽的自然，这也是希望，是沉默并鼓舞人心的现实。 With more than 4 million people living today in Athens’ metropolitan area, the city itself is a controversial image on its own, sketched by the difficult palpable reality that everyday an increasing number of people have to face. It is a depression that gradually influences every aspect of life, economically and psychologically, in quite a dramatic and absolute way, as the consequences of this crisis are extending and the agony for tomorrow is constantly growing. Around the world, images of graphic violence, extensive riots and distressing poverty have been transmitted by the media, enhancing the depressed portrait of the city. The center of Athens has been the main scenery of the crisis that this country is going through and the drama in the streets of the city provided a visual narrative for the Greek Crisis chronicles.

“Avowal” – In groves but silently January. 2013 The images of this project were made around the outskirts of Athens, less than 30 miles away from the heart of the capital. It is the area that surrounds the depressed city and all the millions of its citizens’ individual stories. Outside the invisible borders of the extended metropolitan area, in the land that lies behind the edge of the city, time seems to move parallel but in a different density. There is an inevitable contrast between the two states, a parable manifested by the discreet mystery that trees seem to hide among their branches and seas among their waves. This is an alternate state in parallel time, where silence seems to carry inside it a waiting, patiently whispering a long forgotten language. There is no beauty that is timeless but the timelessness of nature can reflect a new direction, maybe even a hope. It’s not a blissful silence but it’s an inspiring one.

“Albedo” – As a night between two days January. 2013 Petros Koublis认为摄影是考古的一种形式。时间往前流逝，考古追溯过去，摄影记录现在，为未来留存档案。他用未来的眼光记录当下。是的，即便没有文件，历史也是存在。Petros Koublis尽心扮演的“存档”角色，在事实的基础上兼具转化的角色，同时拥有想象力和说服力，介于历史与神话之间，理性并诗意，如同正在梦游的人解决数学难题那样，不可思议却又合理。
