After the financial crisis hit Greece, the number of visitors at
the Casino Mont Parnes outside Athens increased drastically.
Simultaneously the building underwent severe decay. This is
hidden from guests, who are only permitted access to certain
controlled and highly monitored areas. The casino is an intro-
verted structure ignorant of the ruins surrounding it; a place
removed from time and context. It is a mirror of the crisis –
a contemporary tragedy where the action is played out in re-
al-time. The project is a narrative where the building is read as
the reality of the gamblers through the lenses of surveillance
cameras. The only way to inhabit and exit the casino without be-
ing under surveillance is to escape through the system itself; the
interconnected infrastructure made up of fire escapes, airshafts,
drop ceilings and service areas. In search of an escape from
reality, the ultimate escape is through the monitoring room.
