“The waterfront of Thessaloniki; people walk along this border between the city and the sea. Their movement drags a little, as if pulled backward their stroll becomes a kind of lumber — Bellini plays. The music comes from the radio in my grandmother’s car. I sit in the passenger seat and film through the window. I have been driven down this waterfront thoroughfare many times throughout my life and walked up and down this iconic but non-descript seafront. It is much the same as it would have been in the middle of last century with the same asphalt; the only impact of regeneration being the accommodation of a bike lane. The sea and sky here operate as way-points, means of orientation in this city which I have known so well yet at the same time not at all.”
