ENTRY DESCRIPTION
Festivals, concerts, demos, sports events, tourist crowds. The downtown appears to be a place that never sleeps. These long-exposure photographs from the series 'monster' depict the people pouring through the streets as ghostly traces of a moving mass, making them seem almost menacing, like a faceless monster working its way through the city, the line between monstrosity and humanity dissolving in a mist of motion. All images was taken with a analog middle format camera.
