336km is the distance between Paris and London.  It is also the title for this book that represents much more than the locations where these images were captured. Rather, for me, 336km came to represent so many of those little life moments, inspiring moments that just happened to be connected in time and space.

Here, I saw a world slow to surrender its history while still undergoing breakneck change—a choreographed dance between the past and the future, ritual and routine, tradition and progress. Populated by a wide array of faces and cultures, 336km reveals, in just that short span, an increasingly global landscape in which every enterprise must rely on the universal visual language in order to convey its message. 

"336 km" is therefore a 'limit state' between here and there, between the past and now. Despite being roughly the distance itself between the two European capitals, 336 km certainly does not mean a straight line between two points, but the tortuous journey contained between them.

At 336 km, blurred barriers of time and place dissolve our assumptions regarding the progress and change, challenging us to enjoy more intensely the moment when we are away and the urge to set it before you actually meet him.

Founded in 1986, Burning Man's 10 core principles are about celebrating self-expression, civic responsibility, and art.

It's an experience hard to be defined in a few words or even from just someone's perspective. It is radically beyond what most people outside of it thing: as a large electronic music rave in the desert. The desert part of it is very real and you better be well prepared!

Burning Man is first of all an amazing display of human creativity and self-expression when you give them space and the freedom to exercise it. The 75,000 participants are simultaneously the spectators and the "creators" of the event.

The huge space is divided into two main areas: the camping area formed by a series of concentric and radial streets and an "open playa" reserved for art instalations. Exploring these areas is an endless experience as they are always changing with hundreds of mutant and art vehicles of all sizes, shapes, colors, sounds and light effects "gliding" through the streets or the vast open landscape of the playa.

Artists and engineers from every corner of the planet bring their ideas and designs to build a huge variety of art instalations on the playa. This year instalations included a giant orb 100 feet in diameter and a five-story sphere covered with a moving skin of origami shells and radiant spikes illuminated with over 100,000 LEDs. Many of the art instalations including "The Man" and the Temple are burned to the ground at the end of the event to follow one of it's main principles which is "leave no trace".

On top of all this there are tens of mutant vehicles, some of them with massive sound systems and world renowned DJs, that ride through the playa with parties that start at sunset and finish away after sunrise!

Going to Burning Man takes preparation. Lot's of it. Everyone must bring their own food, water and lot's of accessories to help survive the inhospitable conditions of the desert. Reading the "Survival Guide" is a must.

When it opened its doors in 1955, the Grande Hotel in Beira, colonial Mozambique was touted as the largest and most luxurious hotel in Africa. The art deco style palace with uninterrupted views of the Indian Ocean boasted 116 rooms and an Olympic sized swimming pool for its VIP guests. But by the 1970s, having spent less than a decade in service and many more in limbo, the Grande Hotel was serving as a military base in a city ravaged by civil war. The basement was converted into a prison. Today 2,500 squatters call the Grande Hotel their home.

The design office Guili Seara and the brazilian Rural Bank - oficial sponsor of "1ºAto" - invited me to create images that synthesized the creative process of this contemporary dance group. The images illustrate the book celebrating 20 years of the group's activities. The strong aesthetic appeal, theatrical style and deep emotional impact make up the hallmark of its performances. Dance made to feel and thrill.

The only metropolis situated between two continents—Europe and Asia—Istanbul is truly a city between two worlds.  Over the past 3000 years, it has been conquered, invaded, destroyed and reconstructed time and time again. 

And today, as home to some 15 million Muslims, Jews and Christians it is still very much at the crossroads of human history—a crossroads that I found myself drawn to and that I attempt to interpret in this very personal series.
