Nicosia in Dark and White

by Thodoris Tzalavras, Ioanna Mavrou, David Alan Harvey

Between 2006 and 2010 Thodoris Tzalavras wandered and photographed the numerous derelict and abandoned houses adjacent to the Green Line in Nicosia, Cyprus.

A native of Athens, Tzalavras first encountered the buildings in 2002 when he was stationed on the island for mandatory service in the Greek army—he vowed to return and go beyond the causes, UN soldiers, roadblocks, and checkpoints.
