The public spaces in a Tuscan town – piazzas, footpaths, church steps – are where the residents mingle and socialise at the end of a warm day. After the heat passes, these previously empty places suddenly fill with people and come alive. An hour or so later and they’re quiet again as people return home or move to restaurants and bars. This work explores the similarities and differences in the way that people of different ages perform this daily ritual.
This image was exhibited in the PhotoAccess members’ exhibition Common Ground, for which the remit was: “Creatively document and interpret public space through photography. The physical and social dynamics of public space play a central role in the formation of community and culture.”
