ROBERT FRANK, PABLO, NEW YORK CITY 1958

Thanks to my friend Anna Zimm for sharing always beautiful things on her instagram.
“When people look at my pictures I want them to feel the way they do when they want to read a line of a poem twice.” - Robert Frank
For me this portrait of Pablo is one of those pictures, yes it is a „sad“ picture, especially knowing how much Pablo struggled later in his life, but it is beautiful ...like a melancholic song which you want to hear again and again….

ALL THE THINGS THAT SEEMED SO IMPORTANT

in , ,

“All the things that seemed so important” is my new series selected among the winners of Refocus 2, an open call about post-pandemic stories.
The series is about the long summer days of a group of kids who, after months spent at home, decided to get together to build a secret shed along the shores of a creek. This place became a barrier between them and the world of others, a place where they could be themselves or just spend time alone. Confined in the place of their choice, they spend a few weeks there until, as in any adolescent fire, the flame of interest cools to move to other places, situations and adventures.
Thanks Creatività Contemporanea Mibact, Mufoco and Triennale Milano.
