Heritage

What still stands and what is disappearing: sanctuaries, tower houses, bridges, the remains of a tram line, balconies and street lamps, as the light shows them.

Living in the old quarter of Hernani taught me to look at heritage: balconies, stone façades, coats of arms. From there the series has spread to the towns and valleys around it.

I scan many of these buildings in 3D for the Gorabilaz project, but photography is something else. The model keeps the measurement; the photograph keeps the moment: evening light on stone, vegetation covering an old arch, a street lamp at blue hour.

I work from the ground and from the air. With the drone, a building is seen in its place: in the middle of the valley, among roads and hills.
