A collective exhibition where I had the honour of participating alongside my fellow cinematographers with the photograph "I saw the lights, over there, and they disappeared" taken during the long winter walks discovering the city of Bucharest. The image was made in an analogous way with a Yashika 124-MAT medium format camera and 120mm "Foma" brand Film, manufactured in the Czech Republic, a classic European emulsion that has been used by many photographers since 1921.
