Lost things found is the outcome of a long-term photographic project exploring the Eleonas flea market in Athens. It’s a photo book about the curious world of things: how they come together in the most unexpected and mind-boggling ways, telling stories about history, identity, and connection.
In the photographer’s own words: “There’s a joke going around Athens that everything you’ve ever lost eventually ends up in the market of Eleonas. Often you hear stories of apartments being looted for valuables immediately after their tenants are gone. But mostly it’s just business as usual: old stock of unsold products, food, clothes, tools, and everyday accessories, simply sold cheaper than market price. Most people spend most of their lives earning a living: one person’s loss is another’s gain. What someone has forgotten, another gets to remember”
