about:

For stand-ins (2009), I photographed details of the 6 Caryatids sculptures (in Acropolis Museum, Athens and in British Museum, London) and the 6 copies that now replace them in the Erechtheion temple in Acropolis and I paired each photograph of the original with an identical one of its copy.
