Private Story
Elliniko 2016
And Other Collateral Damages (2016) is an ongoing project on the refugee crisis. It is an attempt of humanizing and putting a face to the people who where forced to leave their homes and flee for their lives.
Elliniko is no ordinary refugee camp. It was once the Olympic Airways central airport in Athens. The refugees live in a tent city in the abandoned airport, beneath signs promising Departures and Arrivals. No one wants to stay but no one can leave. The airport works as an ironic metaphor for the trapped and transitory nature of the refugees.
