The catalogue of the exhibition, which was hosted by the Thessaloniki Center of Contemporary Art and the Benaki Museum (15/12/2010 - 23/01/2010). The photographs by Lizzie Calligas at the old Acropolis Museum freeze and record a transitional situation: the vacuum of what has become a non-functional space, which is transformed from a permanent exhibition environment into a place for recording, packaging and temporarily hosting the valuable works of ancient sculpture that will be undergoing special procedures at the hands of experts, in order to be transferred safe and sound to the New Acropolis Museum. The corpus of each sculpture is transformed, as it is dressed by a white protective covering, while a play of light and shadows enriches the semiotic content of the covered forms.
