Backdrop

Description

Milan, Piazza del Duomo. A young man sits on his suitcase and takes a selfie, his back to one of the world's great Gothic cathedrals, which becomes mere backdrop to his own image. Around him pigeons, tourists, the constant motion of the square, and no one looking at the thing they all came to see. A small scene about how we consume the monuments we visit: through a screen, with ourselves in the foreground.
