Specifications
"The Flashlight in the Mouth" is a record of the present of Athens. About its reality and image. The author-traveler decides to trust his breath. To literally run behind the events. Chasing a fleeting impression that changes at every moment.
It, therefore, possesses a different kind of endurance. The endurance of a runner of a single breath. The author-chronicle writer lives with the two indications that define his identity: writing and time. He writes with his gaze on the now, but does not look exclusively at the present.
He presents a contradictory Athens that accepts, represents, and distorts its very self. The author-resident of Athens would like to convincingly say that Athens is not even a real city. That it is merely a fleeting belief in what we think it is each time. For this reason, no present would seem final.
"The Flashlight in the Mouth" follows the trail of a life that unfolds around us. It could be the biography of a city.
