“Placebo is a monumental break in photography, one of the most unsettling artworks I have seen. It captures the essence of the subconscious mind’s dance with desire.”
David Lynch, Paris Photo 2012

“The city’s lustful energy on summer nights turns into fleeting moments of peaceful pleasure. Fragments of stillness, the embrace of silence. From dusk till dawn, we surrender to our humanity, our sense of existence transforms. The dichotomy between tenderness and lust dissolves, providing solace to bodies and souls.

Through a midsummer night’s dream, time seems to halt. Our lives hover suspended, drifting over the city’s skyline, blending with the rhythmic shapes of our bodies. The air is warm, the streets smell of sulfur and strawberries. We blend together, seeking asylum from our intrinsic loneliness.”
