I Fell Asleep Under a Beautiful Tree

Karolina Krasouli

May 2014. I walk in a house, which once was intended to be a museum in Athens. It used to be the house of the art dealer and collector Alexander Iolas, but today only ruins remain, under which diseases and scandals are buried. After Iolas died, the house was brutally emptied, the artworks stolen, and kids used to run across the rooms wearing his white fur coats found in his wardrobe.
