Installation detail
Makronisos Island Island
Prisons, at Makronisos Island , Greece

600 crumpled photos of the Greek Parliament form, the relief of Makronisos,  a Greek island in the Aegean sea, in Greece. It is located close to the coast of Attica, facing the port of Lavrio. The island has an elongated shape, 13 km (8 mi) north to south, around 500 m (1,640 ft) east to west, and its terrain is arid and rocky. It is the largest uninhabited Greek islan

Today it is uninhabited but it was used as a prison island from the time of the Greek Civil War until the restoration of democracy, following the collapse of the Regime of the Colonels in 1974. Because of its history, it is considered as a monument of the civil war era; therefore the island and the original structures on it, supposed to be protected from any alteration.
