The series

The land, on foot and from the air: a pine wood, the sea from Jaizkibel, a river between houses, the San Fermín festivities.

Landscape is not the backdrop to buildings. Tracks, woods and meadows have a geometry of their own, and someone made them: planted, cleared, looked after.

I use the drone to read the land as if it were a plan; on the ground, with the camera, I record what light and the seasons change.

«Infernuraino, euskal kulturaz hitz egitera joango banintz.»

“All the way to hell, if it were to speak of Basque culture.”

— José Miguel de Barandiarán
