Αστικοί Κήποι στο Μιλάνο

September 16, 2012 by Lisa Samloglou

(For English click here, or look under A Travel Narrative ‘Urban Gardens in Milan’) Είναι αδύνατον να επισκεφθεί κανείς το Μιλάνο χωρίς να προσέξει και να φωτογραφήσει τους κήπους της πόλης. Είναι κρυμμένοι σε αυλές φυλακισμένες πίσω από σιδερένιες πύλες, σε αίθρια πέρα από την κεντρική είσοδο κτηρίων που ανήκουν σε διαφορετικές αρχιτεκτονικές περιόδους. Μόλις σηκώσεις το κεφάλι στα μπαλκόνια και στις βεράντες, οι κήποι κρέμονται εν αναμονή θαρρείς μιας ελεύθερης πτώσης, κι άλλοτε υψώνονται σαν πύργοι, πράσινα δάση πάνω στις […]

Longer stays in the countryside were scheduled for school holidays. Sunday excursions to the outskirts of Athens informed my school compositions with the title ‘ A Sunday with my family’, a topic that throughout elementary school our teachers felt compelled to ask us to write about. The best among them were to be read out in […]

A love story: the words and the images / Μια ερωτική ιστορία: οι λέξεις και οι εικόνες

July 2, 2012 by Lisa Samloglou

At the beginning I learned the words. The photos followed. But the images had preceded the words. My first memories, like my loves started from the images; so when the words arrived they run after the images, to catch them. Out of this chase derived my narratives in this blog. Lisa S. The Words and the Images of Jacques Lacarriére: “I never felt photography as a parallel activity, either secondary or tangent to writing, but as an activity totally autonomous. Autonomous and […]

And the sounds of rembetika. “You want me to lower it?” asks the taxi driver. “I don’t mind,” I reply; I mean the kindness. Gray hair licking his shoulders. From mirrors set around, a little higher than his head, I take glimpses of his […]
