Once a year the streets of Bolsena become covered with flowers. The streets tell stories. The preparations started long before this day, in the meadows, the camps, the gardens, at dawn. Time is suspended while the town is transformed in a different place. Later, at nighttime, all the petals that were so carefully laid down, disappear, they were after all only made of dreams, the dreams we carry in our heart. (the photographs have been taken on 6x9, 6x6, 35mm.film, the book is handmade and is part of the "dagdroomboek editions" by M. A. P. Jeltema)
