“Echoes of Bageion” visual story contains images from Bageion , an old Hotel located in Omonoia Square. This series explores the theme future Heritage by contrasting the weight , the echoes of the past with the vitality of the present moment. The building itslef is an inheritance, its faded walls, its stairs, its structure that faced the testament of time. Yet it only comes alive thought the people who roam in its hallways, its stairs to this day. Those who preserve its memory by simply being there but at the same time creating new ones. Thats the future heritage of this place. Its connection with the past and the people who visit it nowadays. This series also questions where the building as a space ends and our memories – experiences begin ,suggesting that it lives as long as we (the people) carry it forward.
