This project is the result of the 6 months that I lived in Taiwan in 2014 and 2015. My intent was to portray Taiwan through my iPhone, the iconic photography instrument that people use everyday to shoot their surroundings. Taiwan also happens to be one of the countries, with its plants in China, which manufactures the phone that I am shooting with.
My dark and dreamy images are meant to convey a sense of lost time, of light changing and of moments passing by.
When I first started shooting, I did not yet understand the implications, nor the contradictions that were going to be present in my work. I wanted to detach myself from photography, from the simplest way to capture a scene, a moment, light and shadow, without worrying about the process, nor the equipment. It was a way to bridge the gap between body and should, between mind and heart.
