Between 2005-2007 I was working as freelance property evaluator on behalf of a bank. Part of the assignment was to take photos of the interior of the apartments in question. During this time I accumulated a big photographic record of interiors of houses in the centre of Athens. What impressed me most at the time, was being invited inside unknown homes, exploring private rooms, photographing intimate places. People would acknowledge my presence and that of the camera but wouldn’t make the effort to make the bed or clean the kitchen before I came.

Today, with platforms as Airbnb people themselves publish photos of their homes – although they tend to curate their interiors. People more and more come to make all other aspects of their lives public via social media. Banks, after the economic crisis that begun in 2008, started possessing the homes that were put as collateral for loans.
