During confinement, I photographed people all over the world inside their homes. I travelled around the globe from my own living room. My photographs, taken through phone screens is my logbook, my way of trying to understand. It is a great puzzle made up complex mini pieces. 120photos I make a videocall ending with a screenshot. The composition is cinematographic. Pixelation is a signifier of distance and the difficulty of reaching somewhere. This is a philosophical and experimental approach to photography storytelling. How far can I go by jumping exponentially from contact to contact?
