About the work

Around new year 2023, I was in southern California, watching through the camera, from a frog perspective against the light, taking a picture of the legendary diner founded in the 1950’s, called Mel’s Drive In. As a symbol for American cinema, think of Tarantino, think of the West Coast art scene, Ed Ruscha and John Baldessari, I was very inspired.
