Traversing these small geographical and cultural entities, some fallen into oblivion following the administrative division of the country, the duo collects visual elements that embody the essence of a region. They comingle man-made particularities– traditional architecture, toponyms, local tastes, historical traces– and natural features, such as relief, landscapes, colours, vegetation, etc.
