This photo is part of my 'Night at Noon' project. In the old days of cinema, when cameras did not see nearly as well as now in the dark, some cinematographers used an artifice to film night scenes. They would film them during the day, using photographic tricks like underexposure, polarizing, ND and coloured filters (mostly blue and magenta). Results varied but they never really replicated the night. Rather, they created an imagined space that was not day and not night, suspended and magic, where the night was strangely lit by the day. It was called 'day for night'. When the pandemics struck, and we started living through these terrible and extraordinary times, I thought this old cinematographer's trick was the perfect key to capture the unique moment. Life had to go on and the sun rose every day. But somehow the night didn't give way to the day. Our days kept the feel of the night: more lonely, more intimate, closer to the instinctive depths of life, suspended. A time of waiting.
