Wandering in one of the most commercial streets of his birthplace, Lefteris Plav os, our photographer paused in front of a glass partition. It was number 37. A landscape of rolls winked at him. Fabric rolls of different length, thickness and texture. Rolls of needs and desires either imposed or repressed depending on where each and ev eryone of us comes from. How nice that dusty pile of time seemed in decay... A time trader , the biggest and most relentless of all from the scales of which not ev en a penny is left uncharged. That time which in this endless bargain of giv e and take will pose the following dilemma: ' Does the time finally last or do you think you're trading through time?' And you will be left wondering....while time as a wild beast will be eating and drinking with or without you....continuously...
