statement

It began in London, in the lockdown, on streets with nobody left on them. I went out and photographed whoever was still there, and I photographed them as if they had already gone.

The city filled up again. The work did not come back with it. It stopped being a matter of standing in the right place at the right hour and became a matter of building the hour — the same figures, the same absence, no longer waiting for a city to empty.

Nothing here was witnessed. The people were not present, the rooms were not entered, none of it happened. The pictures happened.

keisot is a reflection of who i am.
