With Electricity I challenge the urban promiscuity of Athens by interrogating its vast grid. I examine the hinterlands of the urban environment, seeking light, power, and the strange architecture that keeps the city pulsing. In doing so, I assert dominion over the city's connectivity. Like Walter Benjamin before me, I become a passionate observer lost in the caverns and narrow urban streets of a city's modernism, its nooks and crannies, and its inevitable circulation.

Electricity is a book of illuminated fragments. Each monochrome image sparks with the potential to catch fire. Housed in steel and cable wire, the electricity within is an abstraction and a metaphor for life in the post-crisis moment of Athens, the mother of all modern cities.
