Edward Morgan | Ben Chislett
Street Photography / B&W Photography 10th - 16th July 2015 Along with Berlin-based photographer Ben Chislett, we started the first series today, A Tale of Two Cities: Athens & Berlin. We've chosen Athens and Berlin because of the current situation involving Greece and it's place in the Eurozone. At the moment Germany and Greece find themselves as polar opposites in terms of economic stability and much has been made of the differences between the two. Germany, as the European powerhouse is seen by many to represent the unwelcome austerity measure being forced upon the Greeks for the last few years. Greeks, on the other hand are being blamed for dragging their country into this position through irresponsible spending and corruption. It's a clash of the stereotypes: German efficiency and fondness of rules vs Greek apathy and fondness for ignoring them. Can a conversation between two photographers shed any more light on the matter? > View "A Tale of Two Cities: Athens & Berlin" on Facebook |
