LVNARI, Moon retables

When it becomes imperative to draw closer to the beautiful satellite, the photographer directs another lens – a telescope – towards her. The moon then reveals her intimacy, her appearances, in a swoon; from crescent to crescent, she confides her opaline imperfections, her shy greys, her nights of coal. The photographer, a moved confidant, finds poetry in this encounter, which he engraves into the wood of Lunari retable (altarpiece). The confessions collected during their relationship are locked in there forever.

Retable #1

Der Mond steht still am Firmament
Im tausend Jahre versilberten Licht
Wartet schillernd die Zeit von Morgen

La lune reste en silence sur le firmament
Dans une lumière argentée d’un millier d’années
Le temps éblouissant de demain attend

 

Retable #2

In Anschauung versunken
Die ephemere Welt entschwindet in die Unendlichkeit
Zeit wird zu Staub

Perdu dans la contemplation
Le monde éphémère disparaît dans l’infini
Le temps s’est dissipé dans la poussière
