In this nocturnal photographs of forest, I wanted to create a romantic vision of our destructive innocence.

'Our house is invisible. Its light is unique to it: Its light is our eyes' Nikos Stangos

'Spin' Vito Acconci
I took an image every 15 minutes for 2 days, trying to make the process simply mechanical and let time be the thread of the project.

Produced as a book.
