Piotr Niepsuj - Spreads 03
€15.00
From the book:
“OK, so now it's official - all my photos are about... me. Yes, they're about what I think, how I feel, what I know and what I want to say. It almost doesn't matter where I am or what's in front of me. It's just a scene that I fill with... me. I see situations and then decide if and how to register them. If it was Different Me, these situations would have been different. You can see me very well in all the photos. Me! Me! Me!
This time the scene was Seoul and to be completely honest it's not a hopeful one. If it wasn't for the photos, I wouldn't be even sure if I was there. It seemed like some kind of IRL metaverse, where nothing is real, nobody is human, everything is policed by CCTV and fueled exclusively by the desire for power and personal wealth. A very intense place!
I was walking around town with my compact, purposely non-professional, camera and registering situations. Today this is "Yes!", this "OK.", this "No!", this "No!" either. Tomorrow... who knows? It's neither documentary (in a journalistic way) nor democratic as, like always, I only shoot what I like. To the contrary, it's strictly authoritarian and maybe not even true. Snap! Snap! Snap! A photo is this 1/60 of a second in which there is nothing in my head and the act of taking photos is like meditation. It's on exercise in disappearing or an attempt to find some kind of freedom (personal or formal). And all of this is so much easier in the other part of the world, where you understand nothing and nobody knows you.
It's just you, the photographer.
There are a lot of pictures of Nothing in this little publication. Maybe, in times when everything is important and urgent, Nothing is Really Important or Urgent. Nowadays Nothing is almost impossible and that's why, probably unconsciously, I try to register it. Or perhaps there is Something... I still don't know what it is though and sometimes I'm not even sure why I pressed the shutter, but I'm happy I did. It made me feel something and I can still see it.”
