Extended Moments is an ongoing project born from the desire to portray cityscapes in a more layered and introspective way. A decade after my first explorations as a photographer abroad, in 2006, in Montreal, the conventional approach to depicting places and the people I encountered no longer fulfilled me. I became drawn to capturing the essence of urban life — not from a single, fixed perspective, but from the convergence of many, like a puzzle slowly revealing its complete image.
That’s when, in 2016, this pursuit led me to experiment with in-camera multiple exposures, a natural progression from my long-term research on visual representations of memory and identity.
Each image is built through a series of underexposed frames that, when combined, create a final composition with balanced light. The number of overlapping exposures varies between 2 and 5, but all of them are made in-camera, not on post-editing processes beyond minor adjustments to contrast and color. Like siblings in the same family, these layered moments form a collective testimony, a condensed perception of time and space.
