CITY LIGHTS

Cities where even the night is alive. Movement that asks no permission.

Born and raised in one of the world's largest metropolises. I breathed São Paulo, photographed it, lost my mind in it and escaped it. A city that, for everything it gives and offers, also drains you. The concrete city that begs for air, for escape, for a horizon. And yet it is there that so much inspiration is born.

São Paulo, Berlin, Bangkok, London, and so many others. Each with its own rhythm, its own light, its own particular noise. Some in ungoverned chaos, others in a culturally organised one.

There is a particular solitude in watching a crowd without being part of it. It is from that place, inside and outside at the same time, that these images came, and they are gathered here in a series that is still growing, now that I live in another large city, only this time a far colder one.

The camera and the eye work together. A fraction of a second, and movement becomes memory. The noise pauses. The city becomes an image.

Colour, life and contrast. Movement held still in cities that never stop.
