Evidence collapses into story, again and again.
The Past is Violence is an editorial field built through repeated passages into a personal archive.
Each iteration emerges from acts of selection, sequencing and recomposition: photographs drawn from different periods, notes cut and reassembled from notebooks, occasional sound recordings, fragments that insist on returning.
Every volume forms a temporary whole.
Images and texts are not arranged to illustrate one another, but to test proximity, tension and duration. What holds them together is the act of assembly itself: a decision to stay with material that resists closure.
The work advances through discrete editions.
Each one proposes a different cut into the same archive, a different rhythm, a different balance between image, text and silence. Printed publications, PDFs and hybrid formats coexist as equivalent outcomes of the same process.
The Past is Violence remains open as a field that demands time, attention and the endurance to stay with what does not resolve.
Sequences assembled on specific dates from a larger archive. Provisional by nature, open to repetition and rearrangement.
Urban figures and sites extracted from repeated passages through the city.
Material shaped by return, erosion, and visual drift.
Notes, fragments, and textual residues produced alongside the image work.
Writing as an ongoing editorial process.
Sound recordings gathered as traces rather than documents.
Voices, ambiences, and acoustic debris shaped by duration and attention.
