The project The day before_Star system include images of the night sky on the eve of historical events. To achieve this, he uses software that enables him to replicate a constellation at a given time and place. The photographic series, The day before_Star system, is a series of 12 photographic images that represent a map of the sky on the eve of a military bombing. The work shows what the populations of a given place could see on the eve of their death the day before the bombings of Guernica, Dresden, Caen, London, Baghdad, Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Sarajevo… and here: New York.
