Closed for winter is an ongoing project. I photograph disused summer resorts in the winter. They remain static without a function waiting for the next warm sunny day. The elements gradually invade the features in the landscape. The weather takes over from the visitor and tourists as its only inhabitant, changing the landscape, wiping out all signs of human habitation. But there is also a sense of purpose in these places. The design and lay out of these places are conducive to the activities they offer. Have a drink while playing some table football, look at the distant hills, soaking up the sun while having a break from daily obligations, walk along the path to see and be seen. The only incongruity is the lack of activity in a place that is well suited for it. Closed for Winter presents us with an experience of non-participation.
