I Spent 10 Years Travelling In Search Of Abandoned Pianos To Make This Book

ADVERTISEMENT

Drawn to forgotten places, photographer Romain Thiery has been transforming abandoned places into his own personal playgrounds. As a trained pianist, he placed his passion for the instrument at the center of his photography series, ” Requiem pour Pianos”.

His book recounts his 10 years travelling throughout Europe in search of forgotten pianos, ravaged by the merciless passage of time but never ending to impose their nobility. A book in his image that combines his passion for piano and photography.
