A publication investigating the abundance of makeshift paper flyers and notices in
public space within a local context – the Athenian neighbourhood of Nea Ionia. The
book includes translations of collected flyers and posters into English, and documents
anonymous phone conversations – made by calling phone numbers listed on the
hand-posters flyers in the neighbourhood. As an experimental entry into the local
conditions of information and exchange, the project reflects on social and economic
conditions of work, leisure and exchange in an attempt to draw a socio-psychological
portrait of Nea Ionia, a district in north-western Athens. Each copy of the book is
printed and compiled by hand, according to a set of instructions, at a local copy shop
in Athens, therefore using the same standard colours of paper and format as posters
and flyers found on the streets that they come from.
