Cynthia Tzitzis’ solo photo-documentary exhibition organized by Meliora Communications is taking place until the 2nd December 2015 at the iconic Friends Room of the Hellenic Centre.
W1D, Cynthia sais: is the postcode of Greek Street in London. It took the name after a Greek church that was built in 1677. This photography exhibition tells the story of 31 Greek professionals who live and work in London. Mainly young people who came to the UK the last few years in search of a better future. While pursuing success and happiness, these young people keep carrying Greece’s debris with them, by creating easy to carry memory tool cases, by making associations not so obvious to the bare eye, by making new friends who could have been part of the childhood they left behind, by inventing places in between, by simulating and comparing flavours and scents, habits and experiences.

The 31 acquaintances and friends of the photographer, who were chosen by her for different important reasons, compose this chapter and set a pause to it. They generously offer to the Cynthia’s lens the small fertile gardens of ‘now’ that they had to create and inhabit while at the same time, they were leaving ‘there’ behind. And they allowed the photographer’s penetrative glance to focus and capture all those elements that they love and all those that they are in an eloquent, unadorned and articulate manner.
