This image belongs to my Atmospheres series and is the most representative image in the series. Atmospheres was born from the desire to capture the unreal from the tangible. Each image, taken in analogue format with old cameras, preserves the trace of the moment: light leaks, dust motes, imperfections that are not corrected because they are part of its breath. It shuns digital retouching and embraces the unpredictable nature of celluloid, fighting against the coldness of the artificial image. These are real places that, when seen, look like landscapes from another world, fragments of a dream or memories of a journey to another galaxy. They do not seek to imitate what the mind imagines, but to provoke what the soul remembers without knowing where from. Photographs that, rather than showing, invite us to inhabit a world suspended between wakefulness and sleep.
