Faith, love, hope

Kostas Maros

Never has politics been so intensely and deliberately staged as before the federal elections. Never has politics been more tangible, closer, more direct. And never more seductive. Everything shines, everything is hopeful and optimistic. An election campaign is the constant repetition of a beginning: Here we are, there we want to go. We're moving forward. The aim was to convey this staging of political reality.
