Jerothean Frescoes
These details from damage to the wall of the stadium of Agios Ierotheos look like Minoan frescoes. This is how I feel as an archaeologist discovering lost treasures of antiquity. This is how I treat them as autonomous works of art. So as I approach and magnify these small flat surfaces full of wear and tear, they look to me like paintings of abstract expressionism. This is how I feel about joining the company of Willem De Kooning, Franz Kline and Mark Rothko. While in terms of my photographic affinities I am a grandson of Minor White and Aaron Siskind and a cousin of Joan Fontcuberta.
