... but the more I thought about what photographs are,
the more complex and suggestive they became.
Susan Sontag, On Photography, 1977
On this page you find a selection of photographs from a series called "koh-i-noor montpelliérain" taken over multiple years and seasons, starting in late 2017.
Koh-I-Noor (Persian "Mountain of Light") is a residential project realized by architect Bernhard Bühler in a rapidly expanding district of Montpellier along the river le Lez (construction finished in October of 2017).
In the reflecting surfaces made from two-tone glass - mounted in resemblance of the crystallographic facets of a cut diamond - the nature and city around it is reflected in a fascinating combination, fluctuating from moment to moment, season to season. Every picture taken is unique.
