Long-buried photographs document divided Europe ahead of watershed moment

There is a thinly disguised self-portrait of Constantinos Pittas embedded in one of his photographs currently on display at the Benaki Museum's Pireos Street annex in Athens. The 29-year-old's skinny silhouette and dark curly hair are reflected in the left-hand corner of a shop window as he presses the shutter release on his pocket-size camera. It's Prague, 1986.
