The
inspiration for the project ‘The Wind Dummy LP’ came from a tour by the
photographer to the USA in 2017.
Places visited included Memphis, birthplace of ‘rock and roll’ and
Nashville, home of country music. The vinyl
LP record is the cornerstone of these types of music. Series of photographs interpreting popular
songs, as shown in the vinyl LP labels below, make up this project. During the tour, a balloon ride was made in
Albuquerque, the world’s leading centre for ballooning. The term ‘wind dummy’ refers to the first
balloon up in the air in the morning so that others can judge the wind speed
and direction. Click here or on themes on the left
