touching the skin of the city
These images represent the urban surface.
You can’t see beyond the surface, but touching it (or seeing it in the case of photography: touching with the eyes) takes you further into — the encounter, the exploration, the understanding.
Like touching the skin of a human being, in a sense: intentional or accidental, it is a contact that will not be unnoticed. The surface takes you beyond the surface.
This is what i’m trying to investigate with this project: what is this city, really?
It is a process of importance to me, getting to know the place where i live, exploring layer after layer towards a level of actual familiarity.
