Framed Print of Outdoor Olympic Diving Pool, Athens Olympic Sports Complex (not in use)
Outdoor Olympic Diving Pool, Athens Olympic Sports Complex (not in use). The venues of the 2004 Olympic Games, Athens, Athens, G If you google "Olympics Athens" you won't get hits about Greece being the birthplace of the Olympics, or about the glories of the two modern Olympics that have been held there. What you will get are hits about how the facilities of the 2004 Athens Olympics have been left abandoned since the games ended and have fallen into a state of serious disrepair. See "The new ruins of Athens" shouts the Daily Mail. "Ten years on, Athens 2004 gives Greece little to cheer about" gloats Reuters. I was fascinated by these structures and I wanted to see if the reports were true. I wanted to photograph the sites beautifully and dramatically, and bring them into a fantasy world where they really could compete with the Acropolis - I wanted to create postcard pictures of the venues. I had been challenged by Nikon to produce a series in Athens in two days that shows off their lenses. I decided to photograph the venues at night, to add drama and bring out the strange atmosphere and colours. © Alastair Philip Wiper-VIEW
