Déjà-vu

At the end of April, I signed up for Khrome’s first Photo Jam - a 48-hour analog photo challenge hosted by Khrome, a film photography shop here in Hamburg. Each participant received a free roll of film - Cinestill 400D, which I shot on my olympus mju iii - and was given the theme “Déjà-vu” to interpret however they wanted.

I found the theme extremely challenging but also intriguing. Déjà-vu is a feeling rooted in something that isn’t really happening - an illusion of memory. That led me to think about other concepts that aren’t real either - like time. I started exploring the idea that déjà-vu could be a kind of temporal distortion, a glitch in how we experience past and present. So I photographed clocks - symbols of time we rely on, but which also remind us how abstract and fragile our perception of time really is.

My submission didn’t make the shortlist, but I am still proud of these images.
