Stefano Cerio: Aquila

Playful photographs of bouncy castles set against melancholic landscapes

Italian photographer Stefano Cerio's (born 1962) fantastical compositions juxtapose the bright, primary colors of children's bouncy castles with the evocative and ever-changing backdrop of Abruzzo. From snow-covered ground to low-hanging milky clouds on a blue-skied summer day, these plastic castles emerge, miragelike, from their landscapes.
