Passages2003

A winter-time journey from Switzerland to Turkey provides a poetic context for reflection. From the bustle of old Constantinople to the deserted Greek and Roman ruins strewn across the Mediterranean and Aegean coasts - quiet observations of past and present, tradition and modernity, innocence and beauty converge to create a meditative space for considering the impermanence of civilization. Shot in black-and-white, the images were processed by hand and edited over a two-year period.
