Happy New Year
This was what my new life looked like. I first saw it through a tiny window in an airplane.
Two years ago, on New Year’s eve, Continue reading “Happy New Year”

I wrote this message last Christmas.

YUGOSLAVAN
We went on a road trip last Easter, my friends and I. It was a long one, and we crossed country borders in a car. Yali and I were particularly ecstatic. If you live in an archipelago, crossing borders while driving is not an idea you entertain a lot, and for Yali, she says she can drive for seven hours and still be in China.Continue reading “YUGOSLAVAN”
Viszontlátásra Giovanni Gallotta
I remember coming home one night.
“Fuck it’s so cold.

My boots are so heavy.
Malayo pa ba?
This building is so creepy.
Is anybody home..”Continue reading “Viszontlátásra Giovanni Gallotta”
Winter
We arrived in Budapest in one of the very few days that there was snow. In the last years, snow became a less frequent visitor during winter. Within two weeks, we already had to begin making our first films in Budapest and I worked with Ida.Continue reading “Winter”
Budapest is Waiting
In January we moved to Budapest. It was winter and the first morning we spent in the city was one of the few days of snow. Winter was an exciting concept because I’ve never really experienced it but it was also very alien. It felt like the city was alien to me or, that I was an alien in it. When the sun started to show, I began taking photographs of strangers. This one, was of a man who just left the tram, I asked him for a photograph but he said:
“No.”
I tried ask again to make sure I understood correctly
“No..
..no. Not me..”
He opened his arms up to the sky, looked around and then finally  at me and said:
“Budapest is waiting for you.”
Since then I’ve been working hard to make sure that Budapest doesn’t wait too long, after all, we have barely a month left, and then we are on our way out again.
From Far Away
I was surprised at how many people were already there. The train leaves at 07:45H so I arrived at Keleti very early.Continue reading “From Far Away”
In a Few Months
“I used to get a lot of sunsets like this back home but this one is special. You see, I’ve never experienced winter in my life. We have a lot of rain and often floods that devastate many of our lives. But winter is another thing. I don’t think anyone is ever ready to face winter, of any kind, even the people who have lived it all their lives. That day was the day we got our resident visas, after days of uncertainty over not being accepted one because of strange challenges (Balsors) that have left us on edge since we moved in to this flat.Continue reading “In a Few Months”
Amigos
Ingrid is back in Lisbon. At this moment, they might be having coffee at a kiosk near Gianluca’s house. I’m not there now, of course, so I tried to look for photographs of us from when I was in Lisbon.Continue reading “Amigos”
The Train to Szentendre
We moved to Hungary last month. We had to get used to the place so we decided to get out of Budapest for a day. Continue reading “The Train to Szentendre”
