Where Silence Sounds is a series of medium format film images made during 2016 on two trips in Antarctica. The first one on the coast of the Antarctic Peninsula and the other in the inside of the continent at Union Glacier, 600 miles from the South pole. Antarctica hosts many species of animals on its coast and contains the biggest and driest reserve of pristine ice in the desert inside of it's continent. Antarctica and its preservation regard us all. If it had to be destroyed we would be as well and long before it. Every single act we perform daily has an effect on Antarctica and on the climate. But we all forget about it. When there, the silence is the only real presence and we forget about the society and it's problems we left behind. Drawing the attention to what Antarctica is and it's importance in our life is every day more important.
