The Work

Lost & Found: I lose myself in cities to find my soul. From unexpected places into infinite places.

「迷失與尋找」：我在城市中迷失，卻找到了我的靈魂。從意想不到的地方到無限的地方從意想不到的地方到無限的地方

“In this ambiguous space, the mind has lost its geometrical homeland and the spirit is drifting.” –Gaston Bachelard, The Poetics of Space

“在這迷糊不清的空間, 思想會失去幾何據點以及靈魂是飄浮流動的” –

自Gaston Bachelard, The Poetics of Space

This series presents the familiar geometry of the city in radically altered ways, reintroducing ambiguity into the expected and forcing the viewer to question their own pre-conceptions of what is real.

在這些作品系列裏, 我利用大家熟悉的都市廓形, 投入我個人獨見進擊的表達方法, 從新顯現一些預見意料以外的未知及冲擊, 令觀者不禁自省究竟甚麽才是真實, 固有的思想又是否正確

Roberto’s work is characterized by his desire to explore the meaning of “truth” and “reality” through his lens. He is committed to capturing the beauty of the world around us, and his images are often marked by a sense of introspection and contemplation.

Roberto 的作品特色是他那份尋找  “真實” 與“醒悟”的執意, 他想要以他的鏡頭呈現出来. 他立意要展示環繞我們世界各地的美, 他的影像常常會牽引出觀者的自我内省及沉思默想

The Process

The act of creation is organic, without premeditation. As I journey through the intimate spaces of the city, I feel moments of connection to a place which compel me to explore how that connection arose, and discover its true story.

創作的過程之中, 一切都是自然而生,没有過多的預謀及編排. 當我置身鬧市之中, 在某刻我感應到那地方與我的親密聯系, 催使我想探索如何令這特有的感覺呈現給大家, 如同真實故事般道説出来.

My only tools apart from my camera are coloured gels, held up manually over the lens, that I use to reveal spontaneous and unexpected new truths. Each photograph captures my connection to that single moment. Therefore, none of these photographs have undergone any form of post-processing. Once the shutter closes, the process is complete.

我没有太多的器材工具, 除相機之外我運用多種顏色的濾片, 手持放置在鏡頭前面,就在這一刻心念隨機的結合,形成一幅幅純真不經意的作品. 每一張照片都抓住我與主題之間的一刻連繫. 因此為淨化提高這意念, 所有照片作品都没有作任何後期處理及修整. 當快門一按, 創作進程便完成.
