about
I am proud to share with you my project "Something is happening in the world", inspired by Georges Perec's book "An Attempt at Exhausting a Place in Paris", which I created by recording the details that people do not pay attention to during my travels to different parts of the world and they consider unimportant in daily life.
director's statement
In a world often oversaturated with noise, my lens focuses on the unnoticed, the seemingly insignificant details that collectively form the rich tapestry of our existence. "Something is happening in the world" is a testament to the beauty found in the everyday, an ode to the poetry hidden within mundane moments.
Having embarked on this journey, my aim is to prompt a reconsideration of our surroundings, challenging perceptions and encouraging a deeper connection with the world we inhabit. Through meticulous observation, I've captured these subtleties, crafting a visual narrative that transcends cultural boundaries and speaks to the universal human experience.
This collection serves not only as a reflection of my personal encounters but also as an invitation for viewers to pause, observe, and find solace in the unnoticed. Social media at provide the ideal canvas for this immersive experience, offering patrons a chance to engage with the project on a profound level within the intimate confines of the space.
I invite you to explore "Something is happening in the world" and delve into the intricate details that weave together the fabric of our shared reality. Thank you for joining me on this visual journey, where the extraordinary lies hidden in the ordinary.
