In 2019, I was starting my solo photo trip across the United States. Landed in San Francisco at night, my thought was to rush to take pictures at dawn (I only had 3 days to take advantage of as many sunrises as possible). This view was completely improvised at the right time because it wasn't my intention to head here, but the show from this hillock was breathtaking, as was the sky. In the next three days the sunrises were foggy and colorless, but I was lucky to capture this one moment.

Christian Basetti from Milan. Since 2015, he has been passionate about ancient decadent places, giving voice to these structures full of melancholy charm as if they were silent narcissistic creatures waiting for someone to express their greatness. Inspired by Caravaggio, he's creator of Forgotten Art-chitectures project, decayed places are not shot just with an usual limited documentary aspect, as many others do, but they are like painted fine art canvas aimed at aesthetics.
