The province of Almeria is located in the south of Spain.With the highest average hours of sunshine per year, it is the warmest area of continental Europe.These conditions make it an ideal place for the development of agriculture.Almeria is also known as “The Market Garden of Europe” because it produces almost 80% of the vegetables consumed there.

The predominant farming system is called “Intensive Cultivation Under Plastic”, that is to say, greenhouses made of plastic.Almeria greenhouses occupy together an estimated area of 320 km2. With almost four times the size of Manhattan Island, it is the largest con-centration of greenhouses in the world that create a unique landscape,a real Plastic Sea.

This photographic project is an attempt to convey the reality of this environment through an aesthetic argument, a way to find beauty in a place where nature was replaced by something artificial that has gradually become a landscape, a scene of life.
