After 2008, fire has been added as a new layer to the city of Athens; both as a sign of protest and as a source of light. The existence of fire creates critical moments, moments of anarchy which intensifies Athens, as a city in crisis. It is a tool for protesters, mostly anarchists to call for a change in their country's condition.
I have translated the condition of Athens into projections on a model of a city block and concentrated on the different moments of lightscape of Athens, in two time periods: pre 2008 and in the future as I see it. The second image shows the possibility of burning down the city in its most extreme state. What happens if fire is spread all over the city? Will it create a chance for a new beginning?
