“tous les chats sont gris” (all cats are grey) is a common french expression “at night all cats are grey,” meaning that all things are alike at night. To me, night is instead the opportunity of seeing everything in a special way, without any limit for my imagination, and with the ability to focus on my surroundings.
At night the city seems over-dimensioned, healthy, breathing, resting from its daily chaos. Darkness offers a different perspective and suspends time, annihilating the feeling of being judged by others. Only then do I feel like me, ready to drop the attitude that crowds force upon me.
Free to see things, free to act as one feels, free to move around. The photographs in this series display the freedom, excitement, and peace of mind I experience hanging out in the gloom.
