Through his work he explores man-made spaces, helping us to rediscover those places that most of us grant no more than a furtive glance.
Such handling of the landscape leads us to reflect upon contemporary issues created by our modern societies.

Guillaume Raimondi (41, emergency room nurse)
For Guillaume the health crisis has had a dramatic impact on his professional life. Alongside all the day-to-day pressures of the emergency room, he must now deal with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has overloaded the hospital’s capacity.
Finished for the day, Guillaume remains confronted by the virus even at home; the imposed quarantine measures mean that he is unable to run long distance, his usual antidote for such a high-stress work environment.
