une description partielle de son approche des hermitages:

"It seems that what really has withstood the erosion of time is a mental construction: the hermitage as the ultimate refuge of modern madness. In an era in which people feel isolated if the battery of their cell phone has died, the notion of spending years without anything but incidental contact with the world is staggering. In Spain this idea has crystallized into an unequalled number of isolated sanctuaries. Vast stretches of thinly populated land and the ruggedness of the terrain have prevented their urban absorption. In the last few decades too many of them dropped into a terrible state of abandon, or worse,  became subject to destructive theft and vandalism. For all that the spiritual resonance of these ermitas has survived".

sensibilité et analyse quasi géologique jusque dans le champ lexical; j'adore.
