The Last Reportage

The Image of the World 

We now experience events only through a screen, in a room, thousands of kilometers away from where they take place. So I’ve shifted the reporter’s vantage point. I don’t photograph the event—I photograph the window through which it reaches us. A report on a report...

When Art Takes a Stand!

While screens open up access to other spaces and times—both real and imaginary—they nevertheless offer only a partial view of the world, one that is sometimes mistakenly presented as objective reality.

Yet the vast majority of daily events and actions worldwide are positive or neutral, and should form the true foundation of our perception of reality and the world.

Photographic overexposure thus aims to give tangible, imaginary form to the inner imprint left by our constant exposure to screens.

The project is part of a broader vision—not only commercial but also philosophical—in which art is a search for meaning, a means of expression, and an invitation to view the world with fresh eyes.
