Shared Folder (Red box) v'21

POI Finch: “You are being watched. The government has a secret system: a machine that spies on you every hour of every day. I know, because I built it… “ …maybe the government doesn’t need the machine… you are sharing your intimacy without even knowing and anyone can access it with a 35$ machine.

Back in 2015 I asked myself: what could found photography be like in the digital age? I created Shared Folder (Red Box) in 2016.

Heaven

In 2010 I noticed that a group of friends from Barcelona Photobloggers were taking very good photos of commuters. I couldn’t resist the idea of creating a collaborative project using Instagram API (very open those days). Passengers became a worldwide collaborative project that resulted in three books.

I was always thinking about creating my own book. “Heaven” is a dummy that captures how I would like to create it. The photographs were printed using a Fuji SQ10 to translate the instant feeling of the original Instagram and the Passengers project onto a real copy.
