Asmara Dream

"This work arose from my wish to recreate, through photography, the characteristic atmosphere of Asmara, the capitla of a poorly known African country on the Red Sea, Eritrea. Taken between 2006 and 2008 with a Polaroid SLR 690 camera, my images emphasize the notion of the suspension of time and history in Asmara, between a colonial past that has deeply modeled the appearance of the city, and a present that seems stuck in an endless wait."
