[Since 2018]
The idea came about after reading a book on astronomy that describes the “gardens of the sky”, man-made tools like the ‘celestial deckchair’ which help you look at the sky from the terrace of your home: the object in question recreates the distance between the Earth, the Moon and the Sun to scale.
I thought of inverting the point of view, no longer looking from below upwards, but from above downwards, where the macrocosm of the universe observes the microcosm of families, of individuals.
So this is how ‘The gardens from the sky’ comes to life. I choose houses with terraces that make me fantasize. I don’t know who lives in them, but every time I have to create a bond with strangers and win their trust to be able to portray them. After taking the photo, we are no longer strangers, but people who want to engage with each other; this implies work that is not only creative, but also human.
