As long as I remember, as fast as I remember, as strong as I remember is an ongoing multi-legged research departing from individually (re)collected visual memories of the collectively-experienced ‘glory’ that was the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens.

2024 marks the 20th anniversary of the games, which carry historical, economic, and political importance and contrasts with the societal decay that followed. Nevertheless, the memory of it remains to be a mass- scale sense of euphoria, celebration, and perhaps even a tool for escapism. It remains to be a prominent drop filling up pools of memory.

The selected works, presenting Greek visual artists are making contact with the peripheral victory and decay throughout different branches of visual and auditory storytelling. It acts as retelling of this historical era experienced by many all around the world, suggesting our memory to be a selective tool in regards to success stories and how they interact with time.
