A catalogue for the exhibition of the same name, which took place at the Benaki Museum (July 13-September 3, 2006), containing photographs by Kostas Balafas from his trips to Mount Athos from 1969-2001. Under his gaze the imposing monastery buildings bring to life the glory of the Byzantine Empire, but also convey the immensity of the time in which the phenomenon of life is conceived. The volume concludes with excerpts from the photographer’s interviews.
