The photographs of the series ‘Secrets & Crises’ portray buildings in the centre of Athens which accommodate public institutions. In each diptych, the photograph of the building is juxtaposed with an enlarged detail derived from the same photograph. These blurred and secretive images seem to imply what is happening inside those buildings in an attempt to identify possible incriminating evidence hidden behind their straightforward facades. However, nothing is disclosed and only vagueness remains.The book Secrets and Crises by Zoe Hatziyannaki was published on the occasion of her exhibition at the Ileana Tounta Contemporary Art Center in May 2013.
