These pages of PRIVATE show faun’s and nymph’s last breath. In the forgotten corners of impoverished nations the ancient ‘pagus’ (shire) – the antonym and complement of the ‘urbs’ (city) – is in agony, indispensable but scorned. Today all is urban, even a cultivated field: nothing is heathen anymore, apart from some firefly lost in darkness.

These pictures are a wake-up call, a reminder that we need to look again more closely, become more aware of what is in the real world rather than hide behind our inner screens of routine lives – so boring for the rich, so harmful for those excluded. It is time to ‘see’, to ‘ask questions’ and to bring about change for the betterment of all.
