Empty Hours - Les heures Vides
Artist Statement
Do we exist when we are not doing anything?
City life is very exciting and full of promises. I think I couldn't live without the city now. But it feels so overwhelming. Everything in the city is made for you to be as entertained as possible. You do things: go for a run, go for groceries, buy things, go to coffeeshops, meet with friends... When you are at home, you are not afraid to be alone, because your smartphone is next to you, at any second something exciting can happen. Tones of things to avoid being by yourself, and feel the emptiness.
The following photographs were taken during two days when I decided to disconnect from the city and went alone at a Airbnb lost in the natural park of Montseny in Catalunya with no wifi. During my short stay in nature I just took with me some books, my camera and my journal.
