About the Book
Ever felt the frustration of being somewhere beautiful without having the option to visit anything of it?
Close but unreachable. I would prefer it was not there at all.
Like getting close to the oasis just to see it vanishing in the illusion of the mirage.
Like getting close to the love of your life to wake up to its dream...
... like travelling for work to Utah, USA.
A place surrounded by the most beautiful scenery on earth. It was there, but not there for me.
These photos of American plates, taken from a wander through the charmless streets of Salt Like City, become a metaphor for visiting the real places.
This book explores the frustration of missed occasions. It is the sublimation of a regret into a photographic project.
