STREET CONSTELLATIONS

2019-ONGOING // 120MM MULTIPLE EXPOSURE // BUENOS AIRES [ARG] // PARIS [F] // NYC [USA] // TAIPEI [TW] // MEXICO CITY [MX] // NEW ORLEANS [USA] // SAU PAULO [BRA] // ATLANTA [USA]

Geometrical compositions, seeking to hone in on particular aspects of the city I find myself in. Like a child holding its hand to the eye in the form of a monocular, a pirate-like focus on one aspect, these street constellations become an investigation into what makes the city. Geometrical explorations of the spaces we traverse daily; the places I happen to find myself in. Looking at them through a new lens—building new constellations. 

What do we see when we look at the city? What parts spring towards us, what might we miss because we see too much, that we can’t cut away and focus on. The camera has this ability, to block out the surroundings and allow you to really see. This is what I utilize to create new compositions that will engage audiences in conversations about their city and cities in general to build a better understanding of where we are, and who we are herewith. To create a greater feeling of belonging, a pride, and a connection across class, race, and gender.

Compositions from my walks across the city of Buenos Aires, showing the interiors and exteriors of the city. The composition is arrived at through cardboard masks inserted into the camera and allows for the different exposures to have parts of the image on their own while sharing others, achieving a sensation of them flowing in and out of each other, and with your focus, you are able to shift which one goes on top.
