in conversation with // ALEJANDRO DAVILA
@leks_photo_time
•
Alejandro Davila’s photographic practice examines the relationship between identity and cultural visibility. Based in Pachuca, Mexico, he has developed a sustained engagement with the artists of his own community. His project engages with questions central to documentary practice: who is seen, how visibility is granted, and what forms of recognition are possible. Through careful attention to form, environment, and gesture, Alejandro articulates the way identity and practice are bound together. His work affirms that cultural value resides not only in celebrated achievements but in the daily, sustained labor of those who create.

“I believe it’s essential to show the world the hard work behind every artistic creation, so that the dedication, meaning, and beauty of these important works are truly understood.”

presents ANALOGICAL LIMBO
•
in conversation with // NICOLA CAPPELLARI
@nicola.cappellari
•
In Nicola Cappellari’s work, the photograph is never an endpoint. It does not resolve into certainty or narrative but remains suspended, waiting. His project Analogical Limbo inhabits this threshold, where the photographic act becomes less about representation than about suggestion, less about fixing the world in a frame than about leaving it open for interpretation. Nicola shows us that meaning is never fixed but continually renewed each time a photograph is seen. In this way, his work is not only an archive of images but a living conversation.

“Film is in fact an analogical limbo where I can slow down and imagine. It embraces my good intentions and even my less good intentions.”

in conversation with // KAT PUCHOWSKA
@katpuchowska
•
The question of visibility, understood as whose lives are acknowledged and by what visual means, lies at the center of Kat Puchowska’s long-term project. Between 2017 and 2024, Kat undertook repeated journeys across Morocco. Over these seven years, she has built an extensive archive of photographs that draw attention away from the language of state-led progress and toward the modest yet vital rhythms of survival and creativity that sustained daily life in Morocco during this period.

“Travelling abroad opened my eyes to the diversity of human life — the differences and similarities between cultures fascinated me. Learning languages and spending time in other countries made me want to tell people’s stories.”

•
in conversation with // ANTON BOU
@spinningtosublime
•
In the work of Anton Bou, photography is both inquiry and exposure. He positions his images where identity is less fixed truth than shifting encounter. His series reflects this search, oscillating between intimacy and estrangement, sensation and fracture. What emerges is not documentation but a staging of disintegration — where presence dissolves into light and returns as shiver.

“I feel a growing hunger to turn more intentionally toward human subjects — to give more room to slowness, to duration, and to the subtle shifts that occur when an obsession is allowed to unfold over time.”

in conversation with // RIVKA SHIFMAN KATVAN
@rivka_s_katvan
•
Rivka Shifman Katvan has spent her life immersed in the world of Broadway, where she found endless inspiration for her visual storytelling. Through her photography, she’s given us a backstage pass — into rehearsals, dressing rooms, and the in-between moments most people never get to see. Her exceptional work reveals the quiet, human side of theatre, capturing the rituals and rhythms that truly bring the stage to life.

“When I’m backstage, I feel the excitement and energy of the actors, and that energy flows into my creativity.”

presents ORDINARY GRIEF
•
Photography and story by Parisa Azadi
@parisa_images
•
Parisa Azadi, a photographer whose long-term project Ordinary Grief (2017–2022) unfolds as a quiet meditation on exile, longing, and return. Born in Iran and raised in Canada, Parisa returned after 25 years of self-imposed exile carrying a deep sense of emotional ambivalence. Her return was shaped by cultural amnesia, familial distance, and the need to make sense of a place that had once been home yet no longer felt fully her own. Moving between memory and observation, Parisa’s images trace the textures of estrangement and belonging, threading the personal and political into a tender, open-ended portrait of contemporary Iranian life.

“Ordinary Grief taught me that photography can hold space for both pain and care — and that healing often begins with the act of seeing.”

presents DIPTYCH DIALOGUES
•
in conversation with // JAY HSU
@jay_hsu_chenchieh
•
This interview offers an opportunity to explore the quiet power of diptychs through the work of Taiwanese photographer and educator Jay Hsu. Known for his poetic and contemplative approach to photography, Jay has developed a distinctive voice that reveals itself in the thoughtful pairing of images. His diptychs do not simply mirror or contrast, they create a dialogue.

“At present, my works are almost always drawn from past photographs, reconnected in new ways. Of course, each moment of shooting carries its own emotions. But when two photos, each with its own mood, are placed together, a new flow of emotions emerges — something shaped by time and continuity — becoming the emotion of the present moment.”

presents THE EVERYMAN
•
Photography and story by Eva Mallis
@evamallis
•
In The Everyman, Eva Mallis offers more than a visual account of the streets of Mumbai. She reflects on labor, legacy, and the unseen structures that shape daily life. What begins as an ordinary choice at a busy intersection gradually becomes a quiet exploration of work, and the human presence behind routine gestures. Eva’s decision to walk toward the industrial district is more than a change in direction. It reflects the core of her work, which consistently draws her to people and places that are often overlooked. Her camera is not just a tool for documentation but a way of paying close attention. In the faces of welders, machinists, and haulers, she sees traces of her own history. They remind her of her father’s hands and of a legacy built through work, sustained not by language but by resilience and quiet determination.

“Perhaps it’s in my blood. Why am I drawn to photographing people at work, immersed in their daily, often monotonous routines? Why does machinery, industry, and production speak to me so deeply? I think it’s because I feel compelled to document the everyman doing the everyday job.”
