6. ROCK

This photograph emphasizes the rock itself, with the corner of the Parthenon monument just peeking over into the frame. Taken from the southwest edge of the Acropolis, it features the southwest corner of the Parthenon’s pediment thus deemphasizing the canonical view of the monument and underscoring the materiality of the rock on which it stands.
