Europe Orbi
Europe of geographical extremes
Photographer Jef bonifacino explored for five years the five georgaphical extremes of Europe for five years. From the most northerly, in Norway, to the southest, in an Island near Crete, passing by the center in Lithuania, then from the most oriental point, in Russia to the most western point, in Portugal.
At a time when many nations still tend to hold on to their borders, these pictures show Europe focusing on land, a piece of Eurasian continent, where human beings, cities and nations pass through and vanish as a dream.
The nations and Europe itself are an attitude of mind. Geographic Europe begins with its first definition in 1827 by Lapie. In my Europe, the five extremes connect and extend in the same area of land, a raw Europe, yet open.
