A new installation from German artists Thomas Granseuer and Tomislav Topic, known collectively as Quintessenz, has given the four-hundred-year-old Greek ruins in the town of Kagkatikas a colorful temporary makeover.

Located on the Greek island of Paxos as part of the Paxos Contemporary Art Project, Kagkatikas Secret is made of spray-painted textiles hung in the ruins.

Gransaur and Topic's work is inspired by graffiti art and chromatics, among other sources, and their overarching aim is to produce art that "makes/creates space for its color," according to their website.
