We should always respond to the invitation of the maps, believe their promises, cross the country and stay for a few minutes at the border of the territory to close the inauspicious chapters.
Sylvain Tesson,
Sur les chemins noir, 2016
"I propose to use the camera as an instrument of analytical and alienating observation, to explore a route like so many others, but carefully chosen from those furthest from the canonical destinations of tourists or art critics. ... In short, any place where one can shed the inhibiting intention to photograph that place in order to photograph "in" that place".
Guido Guidi, Savignano sul Rubicone, 2012
