Note
I was hospitalised for fifteen days at the AHEPA, Thessaloniki's General Teaching Hospital. The diagnosis: pneumonia and empyema; that is, pus-filled lungs.
The treatment: surgery.
The gaze: eighteen pictures.
In medical terminology, Personal Anamnesis denotes a patient’s medical history. For a photographer, it means the itinerary of his gaze through the domain of darkness. And when you look at darkness straight on, it's somewhat tamed.
