FIRST LONGFORM PROJECT, LONG TERM.

EVER SINCE I STARTED TAKING PHOTOS AND DOCUMENTING MY LIFE, I HAVE WANTED TO MAKE A MEANINGFUL BODY OF WORK THAT CAN BE LOOKED AT IN 50 YEARS AND REPRESENT HOW WE LIVED IN THAT ERA. I WANTED TO CREATE SOMETHING DEEP THAT TRULLY REPRESENTED OUR SOCIETY AND OUR TIME.

TRUTH IS, THERE AREN’T MANY THINGS THAT HAVE CHANGED OUR WAY OF INTERACTING AS A SOCIETY MORE THAN TECHNOLOGY AND THE SMARTPHONE. THIS SERIES TRIES TO SHOW THE ROLE OF THE SMARTPHONE IN THE EVERY-DAY LIFE OF PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD, AND HOW IT HAS BECOME AN EXTENSION OF OUR ARM WORLDWIDE. NO MATTER YOUR NATIONALITY OR CULTURE, WE HAVE ALL BEEN CHANGED BY THE USE OF THE SMARTPHONE.

ONE DAY, LOOKING THROUGH MY PHOTOS I FOUND THE FIRST IMAGE OF THIS SERIES. A CARELESS WOMAN HOLDING HER BABY, ABSORBED BY HER PHONE. MEANWHILE, HER CHILD LOOKS ANGRY AND ALREADY OVER THE FACT THAT HER MOM DOESN’T EVEN PAYS ATTENTION TO WHAT’S HAPPENING OUT OF THAT LITTLE SCREEN. HER OUTFIT REPRESENTED CONSUMERISM AND EXCESS ON IT’S OWN. WHAT GIVES THE NAME TO THIS SERIES IS WHAT I FOUND LOOKING OVER THE PHOTO. A SIGN IN THE BACK THAT READS:

“TOO MANY HUMANS & NOT ENUF SOULS” - THE PERFECT TITLE TO REPRESENT ALL THAT I EVER WANTED WITH THIS PROJECT.
