The catalogue of this exhibition of photographic material from the archives of Aristotelis Zachos, belonging to the Neohellenic Architecture Archives of the Benaki Museum, presents monuments from the regions of Epirus, Thessaly and Macedonia photographed by this singular architect during the first two decades of the 20th century. It is structured around secondary modules with different photographic themes, such as water, public squares and markets, urban or rural dwellings, Christian and Muslim monuments, the Schwartz mansion, and also contains a brief presentation of the life and architectural work of Zachos. The exhibition’s curator, Yannis Kizis, accompanies and counterbalances the exhibited archival material with contemporary photographs of the depicted landscapes, thus recording the evolution of the urban and rural space as well as the monuments’ present state. The parallelism between the traditional and the recently remodelled space, which often evolved erratically, brings to the fore the landscape's cultural continuities and discontinuities.
