A photo exhibition by Swiss photographer Charles Weber, under the title The Greek Series, will be on display at the Benaki Museum from January 31 to March 17.  

Iconostases, Shipwrecks, Men and Machines, Agios Syllas, Heraklion, Umbrellas and Night Landscapes make up the seven-chapter portrayal of Weber’s second homeland, Crete. 

People, landscapes, objects and compositions from everyday life in Greece are depicted with tenderness and spontaneity by the 47-year-old photographer, who has been living and working in the village of Agios Syllas, on the island of Crete, for more than thirty years.
