It was interesting to hear him talk about how there is no more untouched nature, he is talking about how people have always been there before. He feels like this because when he grew up in Rome, he felt that there was so much history there that nothing is purely untouched nature anymore.

time delay long term breath, a kind of beauty that we are looking through, but we are looking at them today like a time delay, its like time travel. You cannot date the image, they are not so much romantic.
He says he has to understand the landscape, and he can only do that if he can travel through the landscape - deeply European view on things

He wanted to work with photography, but not be a photographer

Listening to an interview, helped me to appreciate his work more. It is a European look on the touched natural world around him. In france, as he needed to look on something European, it is a work of time somewhere in time, but not quite defined. It could be anywhere between the present day, and the birth of photography.
