If this year’s winter was at the peak of its journalistic intensity, then spring, with its cosmic vibe, put an end to that journalistic intensity once and for all. It’s not that I did it on purpose... it’s more about my natural cycles.
But I was thinking about the cosmos...that is, the most spiritual state this year. I think it came true after all.
Here are the street shots...they are not transportable. Maybe they do reflect some aspect of everyday life during the autumn period, but I didn’t have that kind of goal, message, or mood.
This condition, in which I was filming, was similar to the conditions in the world of street, which were in the fall of 2020-2021.
The portability remains only in the work, in which you can’t lose this rhythm.
So, after all these years, have I learned to disconnect from reporting? Probably not.
This is felt inside, like a transition to a different rhythm, a different state... where you want to pay attention to your own sensations, rather than to the components of the picture.
This year is the most philosophical and cosmic in terms of information...there’s a lot of new, meaningful, and contradictory stuff.
Every year, I receive various responses from different years, as well as the states they were in. Well, like, this year, the conditions from 2020, 2021, and 2023 are partly echoing.
In previous years, other years responded. I can’t remember which ones...but you can tell from the images and the genre waves.
Right now, it feels like we’ve really regressed to past states: I want to shoot graphics, nighttime courtyards, and dugouts.
But the portability remained...as if it were ingrained in the DNA.
I see it... as if... geometric three‑dimensional figures are forming, and within them there are other figures. Right now, one is dominant, but it contains all the others inside. It’s like the matrix is folding and unfolding, and each time a certain figure ends up being the main one.
The relevance cannot be erased, cannot be forgotten; it’s just not the top priority right now.
And what’s on the first one then?
Apparently, what came before the reportage wave, where there was space — some kind of graphic wave...
