Athens / Monument

The Temple of Hephaestus, also known as the Hephaisteion, is an ancient Greek temple located on the northwest side of the Ancient Agora of Athens. It was built in the 5th century BCE and is considered one of the best-preserved ancient Greek temples in the world. The temple was dedicated to the Greek god Hephaestus, who was the god of metalworking, blacksmiths, and craftsmen. The temple was also sometimes associated with Athena Ergane, the goddess of crafts. The Temple of Hephaestus is a Doric-style temple made of marble and limestone. It features 34 columns and a rectangular floor plan with a central cella (sanctuary) surrounded by a peristyle (a colonnade that surrounds the temple). The friezes on the temple depict scenes from Greek mythology, including the labors of Hercules and the battle between the Lapiths and the Centaurs. Despite being built over 2,400 years ago, the Temple of Hephaestus remains in excellent condition, thanks in part to its use as a Christian church in the Byzantine era. Today, it is a popular tourist attraction and an important example of ancient Greek architecture and engineering.

Portland / Writer

Veronica Martin is a writer based in Portland, Oregon. Her interest in the historical leads her to work with archival material (objects, ephemera), and to research gestures of the past (how people dressed, prepared food, etc., movements lost as technology and tastes changed), examining how this ecology of the past appears and asserts itself here and now. Her poetry and essays have appeared in Vestoj, Kinfolk, Hesperios Journal, Design Week Portland, and other publications. In 2014 she wrote and edited a column for Tin House’s blog, The Open Bar, about the intersection of fashion and literature, called Your Slipcase is Showing.

Ghent / Photographer

A longing for the other, as well as encounters with the uncanny, inform the photographic language of Yuri Andries. The artist works both close to home or travels miles away to explore unknown territory. His images are characterized by a deliberate use of color and a keen sense of the graphic. They evince a serene aesthetic and a search for stillness. They hover between dream and reality, between reality that is not the truth and fiction that is not a lie. Yuri Andries holds an MA in Graphic Design from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Ghent. During his Graphic Design studies, he developed an interest in photography, fascinated by the medium’s tense relation to reality and its function both as a documentary medium and a means to stimulate the imagination. Since 2016, he focuses on his own photographic projects which have been published in National Geographic, GUP Magazine, Ignant and Aint-Bad, among others.
