In March 2020 a lockdown began due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Nobody expected that we would have to be at home for almost two months. Some couldn't stand not being able to go out and socialize in bars, others visit their families. I missed going out the streets of my city to take photographs. Urban pictures whose main characters are the inhabitants of this city. I had neither streets nor characters.

​

After several days of lockdown and feeling somewhat out of place and bewildered, I find myself looking out the window at the pouring rain. The window pane frames the scene: a palm tree and stormy clouds in the background. I go for my camera and take a picture. But something is missing. My main character is missing. It is the one with an umbrella  that I look for when I am in the street in a rainy day. I think about making a cardboard silhouette of a man with an umbrella and place it on the window panes. And so begins the story of "Inner Citty" which lasts as long as the lockdown.

​

Thus, the idea of taking a daily photograph of imagined city streets, that reflects my concerns, my tastes in literature and cinema and personality, comes out. In a nutshel, the inner world that I had always tried to reflect in my photos, but now I have also the possibility of CREATE it.

​

I look for objects in my house that help me to create scenes. As lighting I use speedlight flashes or built-in mobiles lantern in most cases. And objects like spoons, cardboards, stones, plastic water bottles and stuff like that. Suddently, all sort of objects that I have at home have a purpose from now on.

​

Movies, music, literature, tv series, travels... All this inspires me to create a certain scene. And this was the result. Some images that made me travel with the imagination.
