This series was created through in-camera multiple exposure, a technique that lets me view the city from an angle that feels unfamiliar. The intention was never to drift into fantasy. Rather, it is to suggest that urban life contains more strata than what we usually allow ourselves to see: roads cutting across towers, strangers passing one another, and the interplay of light, color, and sound that unfolds all at once, without choreography.
By layering these moments into a single frame, the technique becomes a way of recording both the city’s daily commotion and the small, almost imperceptible rhythms of order that sit quietly beneath it.
What I hope for is simple: that the familiar city might be seen again, but felt differently.
All photographs in this series were taken using the multiple-exposure function, with no digital retouching. I began exploring film-based multiple exposure in 2020, long before realizing that many digital cameras offered the same capability. That discovery eventually led me to experiment across both formats, and I continue to work with film and digital today.
