A land of smoke and fire
During a residency in Lecce I discovered that an ancient river is hidden beneath the city. It sometimes appears on the surface, but is really visible only at the rivermouth. I started following this river, but I immediatly realized that I was searching for something invisible, that I could only believe in its existence. While I was following the river I encountered people and places, but strangely what appeared the most were wild fires. In this combination of searching for water and finding fires, following both the hidden river and the smoke in the distance I photographed what was there.
