FOUNTAIN


Video
Athens, 2015

In front of the Greek Parliament and next to the fountain on Syntagma Square, a preacher preaches without being heard. The intense sound from the water fountain drowns out his words. The preacher shouts louder in an attempt to be heard over the fountain. An ‘oral battle’ between religion, politics and an architectural symbol of prosperity is taking place in one of Athens’ most important public spaces, that has hosted countless demonstrations in the past and during these recent years of crisis.
