Ancient prisoners of Faliro inspire modern art exhibit in Athens

When archaeologist Stella Chrysoulaki was investigating the mass grave of 80 young men buried in shackles in the Faliro Delta in 2016, she never expected that her findings would serve as the foundation for a decidedly modern art installation two years later, ANA reports.

Returning to the Onassis Fast Forward Festival – 5 (FF5) for the second year with the audiovisual project “The Primary Fact”, artist and film-maker Hikaru Fujii explores the deaths of the 80 prisoners unearthed during the construction of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Culture Centre, who had died in the late 7th century B.C. in ancient Athens.
