THE PAINTER A.K. was born in 1924 and died in mid-1980s. From 1948 onwards, he lived in a first floor apartment at 51 Polyla Street, in the Kypriadou area of Athens.

     At some point, probably in 1976, he confined himself inside his home and never left again until he died.

     His last piece is a film named for his home address, which he filmed inside a black model of his house that he made himself, at a scale of 1:1 in terms of wall height, and 1:2 in terms of the plan view.
