At the very beginning, the choice of shooting the work of Niemeyer happened without plans or schedules. It was because of my admiration for his work and my desire to interact with his brilliant creations. A visual interaction deeper than just traditionally revealing those fantastic constructions. My goal was to transport his work to a dreamlike and mysterious reality. A singular universe based on introspection and imagination.
To achieve that, it was used analogue lo-fi plastic cameras which are well-known for their technique limitations, instability, and unique aesthetic. Not having total control over the image and leaving room for the aleatory is part of the process to reach singular results. I do believe in the beauty of randomness. After all, we are not supposed to control everything all the time.
Niemeyer usually says “…curves make up the entire Universe”, I have just been trying to take those curves to a new undiscovered place, not using the perfect technique as a craftsman. Rather, using the sensibility of an apprentice.
