Athens, Greece’s capital, is one of the world’s most famous ancient cities. And it has changed a great deal since Zeus sat astride Mount Olympus.

Rather more recent change, though, is the theme of the gallery of two Greek photographers Dimitris Galanakis, a World Press Photo seminar attendee, and Giorgia Galanoy, both from Athens.

 “The project is about the city and more specifically about the changes in architecture and landscape. But most importantly it is about the changes in the use of the land”, says 30-year-old Dimitris.

It used to be part of the industrial area of the city. Nowadays, though, it seems to be changing because of the decay of industry in Greece. Former factories are being torn down to make way for modern buildings that house night clubs and shopping malls.”

“Giorgia and I met in the documentary class of our school around 2000 and since then we have been friends”, says Dimitris.

The pair has collaborated on a number of projects and this time chose to chart how Pireos Street, which used to link the city to its harbor, has altered over a two year period.
