Nekyia has two meanings: the first is the inner journey into the unconscious through which you reconnect with and heal your wounded self. The second is the ancient Greek ritual in which spirits were quizzed on what the future would be. This book is the story of both these Nekyias, told through the contemporary prism of Greece's ongoing economic disaster. The story takes place in the region of Epirus, near the banks of the River Acheron, a place where, in Greek mythology, the living world meets the underworld, where mortal life becomes the afterlife. Best book 2017 Photo Eye. Monograph in collection at National Art Library, Victoria & Albert Museum London.

ABOUT

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.
