On Reading a Painting

January 31, 2017 by Lisa Samloglou

What is your first impression when you look at an image? The photo-card of a painting for example? I had to chose among 10 cards. Picking up my favorite I read at the back : ‘Melanie and Me Swimming’ by Michael Andrews, from Tate. It was the only information available before writing the short text below: It is bloody cold – what an idea to swim tonight! He was so enthusiastic I could not spoil it. Peter is like that. […]

τα Αρχαία Ελληνικά στέρεα πατήματα στα μονοπάτια που θα διαβαίνουμε

June 5, 2016 by Lisa Samloglou

Ο στόχος του blog μου: Να προβάλλω τα ευεργετήματα που προκύπτουν όταν αγκαλιάζουμε την Πολιτιστική Κληρονομιά και την Οικολογία. Οι αναρτήσεις Ελληνικά και Αγγλικά γίνονται κατόπιν ενδελεχούς επιμέλειας και έρευνας, με δικές μου φωτογραφίες. Απολαύστε το ταξίδι! Εμπνέομαι από τη προσέγγιση της ταξιδιώτισσας, όχι της τουρίστριας και από την επιθυμία να μοιραστώ αυτήν την οπτική για να κάνουμε τον κόσμο πιο όμορφο, ένα σπίτι όπου ο καθένας θα βρίσκει το χώρο όπου θα εκφράζει ενεργητικά την αγάπη του και […]

Mad love goes to the beach / Ο τρελός έρωτας πάει στην παραλία

July 10, 2012 by Lisa Samloglou

(for the Greek text please see after the photos/ παρακαλώ αναζητήστε το Ελληνικό κείμενο μετά τις φωτογραφίες) I grew up in the city. 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 […]

From Frankfurt with love

June 17, 2012 by Lisa Samloglou

I flew from Athens to Frankfurt Book fair 2011. My suitcase lost track at the stop in Zurich. I was given a night bag and the promise that my suitcase will catch me at my hotel, next day. I did not manage to buy a train ticket as I found no one to explain how the automatic worked. With my handbag and laptop I came out of the airport. Featherlight! I had no liquid for my contact lenses. I do […]

So is the skin / Έτσι είναι το δέρμα

May 28, 2012 by Lisa Samloglou

They have carried it up the stairs, six floors. When I opened the door their faces were dripping with sweat. I offered them water. One of the two men was robust, handsome. He asked me where to place it. I showed him. He lifted up the couch again, taking most of the weight, leading the other, his colleague, patiently, with his voice. “Leave it on me, Sotiris, it’s okay, I get it.” I would have thought that he was the […]
