Street people
[…] I, myself, have waited for such a momentum with some kind of curiosity, as if to show the things I could not express in words, otherwise. In this collection, all scenes come from the street. Characters continue to live their lives as humans. I have never wanted to get to know or influence them through my photography. I have passed by, trying to photograph the state they were in and the absurd they aroused. Absurd, is also the word that I would like to call my search , because it took too many days of my life. All this time, waiting to catch a movement or a graceful attitude of street people. I call them street people, as if they constitute a particular species. Anyway, no. For me, street people are those who wait for something to happen and, maybe, their expectancy is their only asset”
