This project is an on-going series of pictures taken whenever I am facing an iconic natural site or monument in the landscape or a human trace in nature of a long-gone civilization. All these ‘Places to see before you die’ who serve as ideal scenic touristic spots for photos and selfies.

There I gather found objects, rubbish, packaging, dead wood, foot leftovers to build ephemeral & useless sculptures. They are like memento mori, a playful reminder of my own fragility. But also of the world itself, showing the traces left behind by every traveler, like me, going places to fulfill their desire for discovery.
