In Athens 42 Days The Undisclosed City Demetris Koilalous documents a unique moment in the life of the Greek metropolis: the six weeks of the lockdown at the height of the covid pandemic in the spring of 2020. The book is a collection of striking images photographs of deserted streets interwoven with portraits of individuals in enforced isolation in their homes. His images capture not only the starkness of the empty cityscape, but also the intimacy and vulnerability of domestic life in this era of loneliness and fear. The book is like an intricate musical score: Turning the pages follows a carefully choreographed sequence that underscores Koilalous’s intention to present a poetic visual survey of the modern urban fabric.

ABOUT

The project

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.
