Whatever you are shopping for, you can likely find it at Eleonas Flea Market-- bed frames, motorcycle parts, hiking boots, silver earrings, canned fish, posters from the 2004 Olympics, icons of Saint George, magazines from former Yugoslavia, film for polaroid cameras, or hand-carved backgammon sets. This flea market, hosted every weekend, offers a bewildering plethora of options, a collection every object that has ever passed through Athens.
On this episode we spoke with photographer Antonis Theodoridis about his new publication "Lost Things Found," a collection of photos of Eleonas market. His photos are charming, overwhelming, often absurd amalgamations of the detritus of a city, all on sale. We spoke to him about Eleonas, what it reveals about Athens, and how he went about photographing this unique corner of the city.
