Lost in the Woods (51'), Lefteris Fulaktos, Greece

From 1985 to 1989, Constantin Pittas, from Athens, drove across Europe behind the wheel of a rickety old
Greek car. Using a Minox 35mm compact camera, he took 30,000 blackand-white photographs. His aim
was – somewhat naively, perhaps – to capture the core of the people living on both sides of the Iron
Curtain to create a book representing Europe without borders. His last picture was taken in Berlin, a day
after the fall of its infamous Wall. He believed that the end of Europe’s division also marked the end of the
project. He stashed the negatives away in a box and moved on with his life. 25 years later, in 2014 he
rediscovered his Minox and the negatives. Posting some of his pictures on social media eventually elevated
him to fame as one of Greece's most important photographers. On the 30th anniversary of the fall of the
Iron Curtain, he travels to Berlin and other capitals, reliving the journey he took as a young man, in what is
now a unified Europe.
