Discontinuity as Chronicle #2: Hidden Stories in this week’s Athinorama.
Due to the beginning of daylight savings we are changing the opening hours of the exhibition to 19:00-22:00, every night till Tuesday 31st March.

Join us for the opening of chapter 2 of the exhibition ‘Discontinuity as Chronicle’ with the title ‘Hidden Stories’, exploring the role of Athens’ unfinished buildings as keepers of memories of the people and circumstances that created them.

~2026: Once more, we walk the streets of Athens, finding ourselves in a new era of colonial capitalism and touristification. Votanikos and Keramikos: After visiting two desired structures, we walk towards the third one on Konstantinoupoleos Avenue. The road leads us a bit further to the left in order to cross the railway tracks from Votanikos to Keramikos. An unregistered unfinished, hello there? Konstantinoupoleos 112, two souls in family, maintaining an unfinished acknowledging its qualities, a roof for Hidden Stories.~

Lalou and Aymo-Boot’s work [UN]FINISHED is a detailed survey on unfinished concrete skeletons in the city of Athens. It places a light on social, economic and spatial aspects of the city with the unfinished buildings in a central role as containers of private, otherwise untold stories to be unfolded. Those stories are proof of the unseen forces that have shaped the city, laws and regulations as well as personal ambitions and family feuds. It gives attention to those daily Greek encounters which often pass un-noticed but nevertheless feature a significant history hosted in the Greek urban landscape. The work traces the hidden history of those monumental volumes that remain as voids of the city and as archaeological sherds within the constantly changing architectural collage of contemporary Athens.

Stories of three selected structures, each one holding a specific profile and dramaturgical ground, uncover a complex configuration of bureaucracy (state), heritage (family) and value (capital) that is the point of departure for the [UN]FINISHED narrative of an underexposed historical and architectural phenomenon of modern times.
