Petros Koublis ‘Lamenta’ Photographs Explore The Social Collapse Of The Greek Landscape. Petros Koublis‘ photographs from ‘Lamenta’ are part of a project from The Depression Era Collective, a loose group of artists, photographers, writers, curators, designers and researchers who are cataloguing, re-interpreting, distilling and expressing the collapse of urban and social landscapes of Greece after the economic crash of 2008. Like many Greek artists – such as Panos Kokkinias and Petros Efstathiadis – Koublis has been exploring ways of understanding the present by examining the social, economical and historical fabric of his country in the aftermath of 2008. How people and place have been transformed in the wake of am economic tsunami that has left many in destitution and created a political space ripe for exploitation by political groups such as Golden Dawn and corporate vultures who feast off the carcass of a country that was the cradle of Western Civilisation.
