Ancient, yet alive, rooted in the neighbourhood of Agii Anargyri, north of the city center, the oldest Olive Tree of Athens stands rooted in memory, story and place. “Meeting Point Eliá” follows the tree’s lines and surfaces as well as its everyday relations with more-than-human inhabitants, neighbours and passers-by.
