SALVADOR
Posted by Malin Fezehai
I went to Salvador in March of 2008 with the only intention to escape winter. I was sitting in my apartment in Brooklyn and just decided that I had enough and it was time to go. A couple of days later I found myself on a plane heading for Brazil. Going to Salvador was something that was always in the back of my head. Usually when I go to on trips by myself I get a bit nervous, but going to Brazil was something I did with great ease.
These images are about everything and nothing. On the one hand I am not trying to tell a specific story, the viewers are free to interpret these images, as they feel fit. For me on the other hand they are about a relationship, a personal crossroad and a city. My focus was on the everyday and the visceral colors of the city. I photographed my friends, strangers and situations I encountered while wandering the streets. Salvador helped me to reconnect to the feeling of being content and however fleeting that may be on film, it’s something I try to hold on to.
