 Map, an history of a disappearing city and crowd, making space for something new...

2022. Handmade with a physical book, a xerox zine and a Darkroom print.

A special 'zine edition from this work was printed as "Afterwords" by the great Tour Dogs



Afterwords


I have been taking pictures around different cities daily for decades now.

Suddenly, everything starts looking as a map of a place that has no definite name or belonging. 
The rhythm of the crowd, loneliness, fascination, and tiredness melt together in a swirl.

Many of us experienced some sort of isolation during the pandemic from the daily grind and this looks like a diary about celebration and escape. 
As the act of shooting in the streets is changing for me, photographs are memory and photocopy of the daily life experience itself.
