Athens by collage: The representation of the metropolis between realism, intervention and autonomy

In this publication, Athens is depicted like an incomplete and unfinished city, in which its parts are in permanent construction, or continual ruination. But it is exactly this permanent condition of instability – its openness and formal instability – that offers the possibility of inhabiting the city again. Once more, the task of collage is to continue with its disruptive and radical legacy, which is to build and variegate a contradictory and often paradoxical urban iconography that helps make the fragmented and often irreconcilable parts of the city coexist.
