One moment after another
(July-August 2019)
Project in collaboration with Pro Helvetia, Shanghai
Our daily life is undeniably tending to be mediocre, so people have to travel or do some entertainments to spend the leisure time. Visitors came to Verzasca Vally swimming, hiking, camping, and hope to have a perfect day. I can not criticize these common phenomenon, actually I am a tourist also. Every day I tried to look for an interesting and pleasing moment in the valley, and these photos are the collection of some moments.
La nostra vita quotidiana tende innegabilmente a essere mediocre, quindi le persone devono viaggiare o divertirsi per trascorrere il tempo libero. I visitatori vengono in Valle Verzasca a nuotare, fare escursioni, accampare, e sperando di trascorrere una giornata perfetta. Non posso criticare questi fenomeni comuni, in realtà sono anche io un turista. Ogni giorno ho cercato di cercare un momento interessante e piacevole nella Valle, e queste foto sono la raccolta di alcuni di questi momenti.
