REMOTE SENSING
Inaugurated on 27 February, 1869, the historic Line 1 of the Athens Metro is the oldest of its three lines, constituting a modern rapid-transit system. With a total length of 25.6 km & 24 stations, Line 1 begins from the seaport of Piraeus and traverses through Athens’ heart, and finishes at Kifisia — a posh suburban locality.
While journeying on Line 1, the diverse & picturesque landscape of the surroundings offers a multitude of picture-taking opportunities; including natural landscapes, chaotic urban infrastructure, and most significantly, the world-famous ancient monuments. All the train carriages of Line 1 are completely covered with graffiti from top to bottom. Rolling for the last ten years, these graffiti-laden carriages give a tribute to innumerable local & international—alive or deceased—artists, thereby leaving their indelible mark on the steel carriages.
The combination aforementioned, the yearning to learn the line’s infrastructure, the pinpointing of its train-spotting locations, and learning its security surveillance system - gave birth to the idea of the Remote Sensing project.
The project encompasses a collection of various artworks — all related to the Line-1. The multisensory experience is produced by utilising various multimedia forms, created using numerous aerial videos, pictures, and audios. The project offers the following:
Limited edition signed & numbered fine-art photo prints.
Collector edition signed & numbered photobook.
Photobook.
A song inspired & produced from the sounds, and the process of remote sensing of Line 1.
Music video created from the best aerial video recordings.
FINE ART PRINTS
The photo print collection contains three of the most picturesque locations at Line-1. These high-quality photographs were taken during the drone espionage of the railways infrastructure, its security surveillance, as well as documentation of the top-to-bottom painted rolling stock of the historic line and its scenic landscape backgrounds.
