IN COLORS PROJECT | REACT!
React! is a portrait of the human condition and the perception of the world, showing different speeds, multiple realities, encounters and inequalities, so many reactions.
The broadness to which the theme is open is represented in this set of 50 artworks by photographers from 22 nationalities. React! to what, from what perspective? The possibility of endless interpretations is mirrored in an exhibition in which the reaction is as much in the photographed "scene" itself as in the impression of the person who photographed it, and also, and always, in the eye of the person who appreciates the photograph. In this realm, there is the image of time and place, of many places and many qualities of time. There is the beauty of moments, spaces, cultures and traditions. There is a whole scale of emotions. There is the poetry of landscapes and the destruction wrought by war. There is fantasy in improbable scenarios. There are global concerns, personal instances. Sometimes the weight of existence; sometimes the lightness of laughter in the face of death. There remains, still, the certainty of a kaleidoscopic world, in permanent change, so that stories repeat themselves. Because man repeats himself. The continuity of life is also maintained. It is in the faces of many. It is in the colors. It is in the light of black and white. It is in the instinct. In the will. In what is lost, in what is conquered.

These people have nowhere to shelter in big cities. Their day begins in street dumps and ends on roads to nowhere.
In concrete covered streets, boats are flower-beds for these refugees who practically have no identity. They survive as street vendors, laborers, and doing other odd jobs.

The nets reflected on the lake create an indescribable, powerful, contrasting light that highlights his daily work.
This photograph is part of a series about the nomadic fishermen in the lakes and rivers of Vietnam. With a free lifestyle, isolated from modern society, they use these ancient nets, built with bamboo poles, to trap fish on the lake’s surface.

The village where this photo was taken, in the Khulna district of coastal Bangladesh, suffers from a severe lack of clean drinking water. The groundwater has extremely high salinity values. Thus, people have to rely on several ponds. The water they consume does not even go through a filtering process before drinking.
The irony is that people in this region have 4G Internet access, but no safe drinking water.

As an artist, I am very familiar with the relationship of the creator and his inspiration, which can be drawn from various sources. For some, these are books or music, but sometimes it comes from such dark depths of the soul that by looking at them, the creator hurts himself.
