Manolis Coupe-Kalomiris - Electricity, Nearest Truth, 2024, Athens, Greece

 

Hardcover, Japanese fold, Swiss binding, edition of 175 Copies (125 Copies / 25 Numbered) and 25 Limited Editions with 2 archival prints. Design by Tamara Vujotic Coupe.

Electricity is Emmanuel Coupe-Kalormiris's first book. The French-Greek artist challenges the urban promiscuity of Athens by interrogating its vast grid. Coupe-Kalomiris examines the hinterlands of the urban environment, seeking light, power, and the strange architecture that keeps the city pulsing. In doing so, he asserts dominion over the city's connectivity. Like Walter Benjamin before him, he becomes a passionate observer lost in the caverns and narrow urban streets of a city's modernism, its nooks and crannies, and its inevitable circulation.

Electricity is a book of illuminated fragments. Each monochrome image sparks with the potential to catch fire. Housed in steel and cable wire, the electricity within is an abstraction and a metaphor for life in the post-crisis moment of Athens, the mother of all modern cities.
