is a photographic tale about the city, the volcano and 3 seas that uncovers both the beauty and the darkness of nature and human behavior.

Sicily has its great marvels and joys.
 It is a place where the traditional past in one way or another always seems to be present in modern life.  
But it is also a place that is as well unnervingly bright and beautiful as -literally- black and polluted.

Where infrastructures are already in decay before their “never completion”.

Where majestic nature is abused as a garbage dump.
All photographs were made on trips made between 2017-2023 in Sicily, Italy,
 mainly in the City of Catania, around and on Mount Etna, in the Campagna 
and along the coasts of three seas.


"Kennst du dass Land wo die Zitronen Blühen?" Goethe wrote about Sicily even before he even was there.
And obviousy, Sicily has its great marvels and joys.
It is a place where the traditional past in one way or another always seems to be present in modern life.
But it is also a place that is as well unnervingly bright and beautiful as -literally- black and polluted.
Where infrastructures are already in decay before their “never completion”.
Where majestic nature is abused as a garbage dump.
