Building Stories

“Those who don't believe in magic will never find it. And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places.” -Roald Dahl "Building Stories" explores the hidden narratives of man-made structures, each a symbolic representation of power, authority, control and pleasure. This photographic journey traverses a diverse landscape, spanning from haunting nuclear test sites to the intimate childhood home of Steve Jobs to defunct Olympic facilities. Through hyper-realistic, cinematic imagery, these buildings stop being just buildings. They are the main characters in their own captivating tales. Created through long exposures of several seconds to several minutes, the images exude vivid colours and evocative atmospheres. Spanning a 13-year journey across the globe, 'Building Stories' is not merely a visual chronicle of architectural marvels. It's a testament to the emotional resonance evoked by these structures—whether it's the nostalgia-laden embrace of familiar places or the awe and disquiet stirred by imposing monuments. Building Stories speaks to our shared human experience, inviting contemplation on the roles these structures play in shaping our collective history, memories, and aspirations.
