piscinas públicas

   
   
   
   
   
   

An island of volcanic origin. The land rises sheer from the ocean and beaches are rare.
To give the people the possibility to swim safely in the ocean, walls of concrete were built in the sea and created swimming pools which fill up with the high tide and empty with low tide. Entry is free for everybody. These public baths are hugely popular with the people.
    
This work was done with a 6x9 pinhole camera.
All colour prints are of the size of 50 x 70 cm and the black and white prints 59.4 x84 cm, pigment print on Hahnemühle paper, framed.
