Western Europe

Photographs taken between 2008 and 2023 in France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Switzerland, Belgium, Germany and Austria.

It was in October 2008 on the heights of a mansion that I discovered my first abandoned piano. Following this one, I spent five years patiently weaving a network throughout Europe. Since 2014, I have discovered more than a hundred pianos, in as many places of stunning beauty.

I never change anything, leaving the place as it is. The only thing that counts for me is the pleasure of sharing with you a rare and precious moment, this moment that I lived next to these abandoned pianos.
