When I began working on the city night as a theme, I did not anticipate that it would become a long-term project (and even, in the end, almost an obsession with urban night hours). Urban Nightology, which took inspiration from the work of Patrick Zachmann (France) and later of Miguel Rio Branco (Brazil), consists of a series of images taken throughout 2016 in different big cities, mainly Barcelona, Budapest, Hanoi, New York and Warsaw. It seeks to show these cities’ night lives, both in their big streets and in remote corners.

I begin looking for coloured lights, shadows, movement, solitudes… It is the first time that I really step out of my photographic comfort zone and go beyond what I have done up until now. I let myself loose, I forget about the “holy” technique and start trying out new things, breaking pre-established rules. I welcome blurriness, movement, grain. Such is the night (confusing, shaken, mysterious, restless).
