Manifesto: "When portraying abandoned places, I'm not denouncing something wrong to be fixed: I'm screaming my love for them as they are"

Abandoned places are not socially coded: when you enter, you do not know anything and you must find out all by yourself. Small clues, traces, details from which you try to understand what you are looking at. It's not a museum with its beautiful cards providing you a boring clear explanation.

In these places you're by yourself. The outside world is a thousand miles away even if it's close to you. You are in a space/time bubble that takes you into a past that seems not to be of interest to anyone but you. The world runs a few feet away, but you are in an absolute "elsewhere”.

You are in the pigeons kingdom and everything you see is through their eyes.
