The Beauty Surrounds

There's some gold 

In my bones 

That I told you about. 

So I'm pulling out my teeth and 

Burying them deep under ground.

Pittaki Street, Before Light +  Imagine the City

There's some lights 

In your eyes 

That I follow about. 

But they're dimming quick, 

and you're getting sick, so now I wander out alone.

(Jordan Makarof Exhibition))

All my love 

Is circling the drain now. 

All my love 

Won't bring you back to me. 

Oh my God 

I'm wasting away. 

Pulled flowers at my feet 

Lost in the wind.

(Jordan Makarof Exhibition)

There's a ghost 

In the sky and in 

All my fields of stars. 

So I'm following the wind and 

Singing all my hymns in the dark. 

And when I shake your shadow from the trees. 

Theres a color in your eyes that 

Nobody knows but me.

Pittaki Street, Before Light +  Imagine the City

All my love 

Is circling the drain now. 

All my love 

Won't bring you back to me. 

Oh my God 

I'm wasting away. 

Pulled flowers at my feet 

Lost in the wind.

When the lights are off

 A street in Athens (down town)  and a light installation. When the lights are OFF

Located in the heart of Athens, Pittaki is a small street in Monastiraki area, one of the most characteristic quarters with narrow and winding lanes and small buildings that date back to Byzantine and Ottoman period. This street hosts only few small shops, very few residents and an amazing lighting installation.

Beforelight, a Greek based creative Studio that experiment with the use of light, in collaboration with Imagine the city, a cluster for city branding and urban renovation, has invited and mobilized the residents to donate their old luminaires, fixtures and lamp shades in order to transform the abandoned street of old central Athens into a homely space, with the site-specific installation "Synoikia", that means neighborhood.

An empty shop was temporarily transformed into an open workspace for people to gather, observe and participate in the development of the project. A process of repairing, testing and waterproofing the lamps engaged volunteers that, in collaboration with greek creative studio beforelight, prepared more then 150 lamps to create a colorful ceiling over the street, in an effort to encourage the public collective experience with artificial light.
