Now that it's all a lot of talk about what's real and what's not, I suggest: experience the city and you'll find the answer.

The city I live in is able to provide me with the answers. In direct experience and in believing only what I see with my eyes. I don't let myself be manipulated by the TV. The perception of reality changes with respect to what you experience. And it is the only reality you can trust, not the one they tell you.

Should I believe those who have a vested interest in making me believe what the system wants? I go around and live the street, I don't let someone else tell me about it. The photograph that is only a portion of reality, something filtered between my state of mind and what is in front of me is still more true than what others report. The images I make help me understand a lot about the experience and what comes out of it is a response to myself. That's how the photographs I shoot have more value to me than all the shouting and spreading.

It is not a matter of believing only in myself. In setting my gaze on the world, it is what I see that offers me the opportunity to form an idea, an opinion. The moment I am on the street I am open to the world, I am not closed at home, I don’t accept the narrative that someone has decided for the mass. When used intelligently, for ourselves, photography makes us truly independent.

If I want to know the truth I go to the street. I certainly don't put myself in front of the TV.

The revolution will not be televised, brotha.
