FAITH OF OTHERS

May 1

Drawing inspiration from the poet Portia's words, 'My God, I almost never believed in you, but I always loved you', this piece explores the personal journey of faith and the pursuit of beauty through an intimate interplay of images and twelve short phrases. The nostalgic aesthetic of the photographs captures a sense of quietly forgotten devotion, while the textual fragments create a unique temporal and spatial mapping across the Greek islands and through the calendar months, tracing the passage from winter to summer and darkness to light.

Extending beyond its pages, the book has fostered a community on Instagram where contributors document the 'faith of others' in personal shrines, public spaces and unexpected corners.

ΓΙΑΤΙ ΕΜΕΙΣ ΣΤΗΝ ΠΙΣΤΗ ΤΩΝ ΑΛΛΩΝ ΜΠΟΡΟΥΜΕ ΜΟΝΑΧΑ ΝΑ ΕΛΠΙΣΟΥΜΕ ΚΙ ΑΛΙΜΟΝΟ ΑΝ ΣΤΑΜΑΤΗΣΟΥΝ ΟΙ ΓΙΑΓΙΕΣ ΝΑ ΑΝΑΒΟΥΝ ΤΑ ΚΑΝΤΗΛΙΑ (FOR WE CAN ONLY HOPE IN THE FAITH OF OTHERS — WOE TO US SHOULD THE GRANDMOTHERS NO LONGER LIGHT THE CANDLES)
