Layers of time

George Karagiannis Open House Thessaloniki 2025 · Future Heritage

Between the sky and the city, rising unexpectedly between the uneven lines of 1970s apartment buildings, a dome and a cross cut through layers of balconiesand laundry lines l. A bird on the sky shows the way. The sky becomes a stage where past and present collide.

This image does not speak of monuments that dominate. It speaks of presence that persists. Of spiritual and cultural symbols that quietly inhabit the everyday, squeezed between routine life and architectural density.

Here, heritage is not separated from the city — it is trapped inside it, protected by it, ignored by it, and yet still standing. It asks whether the future of memory belongs in grand gestures, or in these fragile moments of survival hidden in plain sight.
