everything looks better with drips...
but not always. This is the same factory I am visting for the last months. Unfortunately few graffiti writers discover it and started doing their stuff. Hopefully we still have a little bit of time before the state completely destroy it.
various dimensions, mazut and found cotton in the factory and found emulsion paint from the streets

more time...
need to explore this quite huge abandoned factory in the outskirts of Thessaloniki. Already painted and tagged for at least the last 10 years but many good spots still virgin. Next time perhaps something will create.

in the ouskirts of Kastoria...
we find one of the abandoned villages named Gavros. It is one of the three deserted villages in the area. Some of the houses are still in use as storages from a local sheperd. Would be nice to make an installation but still the way it is just looks perfect.

another...
beautiful abondoned factory in the outskirts of my hometown Thessaloniki. Visited when probably was still in operation but didnt notice it only last year while exploring the area again. On the 30th December entered for the first time. Completely ruined but not any tags etc. Photos taken with Gopro.

finally...
making more frequent visits to the abandoned factory, though not as often as I would like. A quick in-situ installation to satisfy my creative cravings. A few things are stirring inside this beautiful, haunting space—hopefully, nothing that will spoil its charm with careless tags or thoughtless damage. I have plans that feel right for a space like this. Something new, something that honors its story.
Thank you D.Vasileiou for the pics.

out of time...
Wanted to visit this place since 2014 but was not possible. Last days found out a new entrance and entered for the first time today. For almost two hours forgot all my issues and everything in general. One of the best abandoned factories ever visited. Next weekend plans to make some installations.
Thank you for the pics Ivana
