SCENE
SHORT LIST
Statement
parsec
When I was a child, I liked to imagine.
My favorite at that time was small stones on the road.
Because it looked like the top of a mountain
when I looked at that sharp stone in the palm of my hand.
When I started taking photos, started imagining things again.
A rock about 1 meter high looked like a rock wall.
And some was tidal flats where waterfowl live,
or the Nazca Lines.
These photos are Imaginary landscape in my head.

Jury selection
The macroscopic perspective can translate into a micro hallucinatory scene. The photographs with people effectively make this flow into a macrocosm with scale. Oddly enough, the use of a metric unit of length in the title is also suggestive.
