The first date is the 25th of March which is a double holiday for Greeks as they celebrate the beginning of their independence war as well as the Annunciation to the Blessed Virgin Mary.

In Cesar Aira’s novel El Pequeño Monje Budista, Napoleón Chirac, a French photographer, is led by The Little Buddhist Monk (literally, the littlest Buddhist Monk ever seen), to a not very well known temple in order to photograph its ‘space’. Chirac’s work consisted on, from the center (an arbitrary center) of the space, taking a series of pictures covering the perimeter and then digitally uniting them, which would result in one big horizontal image.

However, after setting up his equipment, he realized how the other monks who were at the temple started to sabotage his shots. He had already explained to them that what he needed was to photograph the empty space, but despite the warning, they still were, as little kids, getting in the way and giggling while running away only in order to do it again.
