A color-separation portrait of the Exarchia neighborhood of Athens, Greece, filmed during the anti-austerity protests in late 2011. In a place thick, where fists are raised like the columns of the Parthenon, this is a film about surfaces - about marble streets full of graffiti and walls full of posters - hand-processed and exposed three times, in red, green, and blue.
