On Tuesday September 23rd, the photography exhibition “Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center: View from the Cranes” of photographer Yiorgis Yerolymbos opened to the public at the French Institute of Greece, as part of the Athens International Film Festival. The exhibition, which examines top view images from the SNFCC construction site, will last until October 18th.

“Top view: the image of the space from above. Looking at the ground flying from a long distance, there is no doubt that the prospect organizes everything: the space in front of the lens as well as the formation behind him. Every time, in every flight on a crane above the construction site, I look for words trying to express what I am experiencing.” Yiorgis Yerolymbos.
