Hi,

2
00:00:06.363 --> 00:00:08.062
 I'm Lily and you're listening to Vision,

3
00:00:08.226 --> 00:00:10.289
 the podcast that brings images to life.

4
00:00:14.211 --> 00:00:16.765
 This episode was made in partnership with MPB,

5
00:00:17.156 --> 00:00:19.656
 the world's largest online platform for buying,

6
00:00:19.812 --> 00:00:22.297
 selling and trading used photo and video gear.

7
00:00:22.906 --> 00:00:23.718
 If you're interested,

8
00:00:23.812 --> 00:00:25.922
 there's a link in the description of this podcast.

9
00:00:26.547 --> 00:00:27.765
I'm working with people that

10
00:00:28.609 --> 00:00:29.906
 I know from a long time.

11
00:00:30.376 --> 00:00:31.597
 So sometimes it's easier,

12
00:00:31.658 --> 00:00:33.699
 sometimes it's more complicated.

13
00:00:34.240 --> 00:00:37.181
 And I'm working with a large format camera,

14
00:00:37.302 --> 00:00:39.049
 so that means silence,

15
00:00:39.050 --> 00:00:41.088
 that means kind of a ritual.

16
00:00:41.666 --> 00:00:49.080
 I really like this medium for this project because it allows me also to spend time on location,

17
00:00:49.720 --> 00:00:50.220
 on set,

18
00:00:50.752 --> 00:00:57.627
 to figure out how to achieve and how to build the image that I'm looking for.

19
00:00:58.408 --> 00:00:59.392
 If you think about it,

20
00:01:00.004 --> 00:01:00.804
 Photography has,

21
00:01:01.404 --> 00:01:01.805
 let's say,

22
00:01:02.325 --> 00:01:02.905
 generally speaking,

23
00:01:02.925 --> 00:01:03.704
 three conditions.

24
00:01:04.206 --> 00:01:09.167
 First condition is the image as a mirror of reality.

25
00:01:09.605 --> 00:01:10.526
 That's something that you have.

26
00:01:10.589 --> 00:01:11.167
 It's an index,

27
00:01:11.448 --> 00:01:11.667
 right?

28
00:01:11.769 --> 00:01:16.448
 It's a handprint that you have on the photographic surface.

29
00:01:16.855 --> 00:01:24.917
 Then you have a second condition that it's a translation of that reality that of course is conditioned by the framing,

30
00:01:25.386 --> 00:01:26.792
 the photographic surface,

31
00:01:27.042 --> 00:01:27.855
 if it's colored,

32
00:01:27.856 --> 00:01:28.745
 if it's black and white.

33
00:01:29.092 --> 00:01:33.375
 which type of medium you use and which type of technology you use.

34
00:01:33.738 --> 00:01:36.980
 And then a third moment that is quite interesting as well,

35
00:01:37.937 --> 00:01:40.320
 that photography produces reality.

36
00:01:40.726 --> 00:01:48.476
 It's an autonomous entity that produces another type of reality that is completely different from the reality that we see.

37
00:01:48.945 --> 00:01:52.539
 And this third moment interests me a lot,

38
00:01:52.914 --> 00:01:55.351
 especially in this last project,

39
00:01:55.414 --> 00:01:58.445
 because it would allow me to make

40
00:01:58.712 --> 00:01:59.575
 or to build,

41
00:02:00.478 --> 00:02:00.981
 hopefully,

42
00:02:02.344 --> 00:02:06.158
 an autonomous reality of the actual reality that I'm seeing.
