“Syntagma Square” by Zafos Xagoraris and Aristide Antonas (c.2000)
With its shortage of space and archaeological layers, Athens is akin to an artwork that is continually being erased and then drawn on top of: its urban spaces etched out over millennia by its populace. A similar kind of back and forth process between artist Zafos Xagoraris and architect/writer Aristide Antonas created this illustration, part of an entry for a competition which reimagined Syntagma Square as an “idiosyncratic void”. Making use of photocopier and correction fluid, it was an intervention by the hand of Xagoraris rather than that of the architect that then brought people into the drawing of the square. I (fs)
