In their collaborative work ‘Co-capital,’ Sofia Tolika and Kostis Argyriadis aim to provide commentary through their lens on their birthplace and current home, Thessaloniki. Through their photos, they scrutinize wheth- er one of the city’s designated monikers, ‘Co-capital,’ accurately reflects its contemporary portrayal. The black-and-white and color photographs by the two creators intertwine with each other and with the city’s slogans, creating associative links with the history of the city while visually mirroring the torn, smudged, and detached posters commonly found on the gray walls of Thessaloniki.
