Travelogue Vol. 2: Greek everyday solutions to common problems

Hyper Hypo and Papairlines are delighted to present the follow-up to last year's success Travelogue: Greek Everyday Solutions to Common Problems with a second volume that is just as funny, stimulating, and inventive. This new edition brings together previously unpublished photographs taken from all corners of Greece, capturing the spontaneous ingenuity and humor of makeshift solutions that creatively meet simple everyday needs.

This second volume continues the exploration begun by the first volume, whose impact exceeded the authors' expectations: what had started as a personal design project quickly became a cultural and ethnographic phenomenon, reaching an audience far beyond the design community.

Enthusiastic feedback from friends, strangers, and booksellers in Athens accompanied the book on its journey through the United States, Korea, and Europe. This wave of positive reactions naturally led to the creation of a second volume, which brings together even more examples of this uniquely Greek inventiveness.

In a world increasingly controlled by algorithms and less and less guided by human curiosity, the objects in Travelogue Vol. 2 occupy a unique space: between uniformity and singularity, between trend and timelessness, between need and available materials.
These makeshift objects, far removed from industrial logic, humorously and incisively prompt us to consider what luxury, resourcefulness, artisanal creativity, and empirical knowledge can mean today.

Note: The book is entirely in English.
