About the Collection

Complex Coexistence is a series that portrays the intricate and interdependent relationship between humans and animals in urban environments. Through candid street photography, this collection offers a glimpse into the diverse ways we coexist, from reverence and care to commerce and survival. From revered Sika deer in Japan who have coexisted with locals for over 1,000 years as well as monkeys in Nepal viewed as descendants of the HIndu god of Hanuman to the shadow of a camel being led to slaughter and the shadow of a bird waiting to grab a dead fish baking under the sun, the daily scenes are complex both visually and culturally. The photographs in this series are from 9 cities spanning 7 countries in 3 continents.

About the Collection

When the old and new worlds merge. Far from the Hollywood cliché of the Caucasian cowboy, Louisiana’s Afro-Americans have a long equestrian history since slavery and remain very active today.

Francesca Chiacchio

Biography

I was born and raised in Napoli, a very contraddictory city who has been demonized for decades by many, especially by other italians. For a long time the city hasn’t had any tourism, because of its criminality. During pandemic though something changed, it was difficult to travel abroad and outside Europe, and people suddenly started to come to Napoli for their vacations. Its popularity grew in a very short time, thanks also to the winning of the italian soccer champions leaugue in 2023, and at the moment Napoli seems to be the most wanted travel destination in the world. Pandemic also forced me to shoot in the city, something that I had never felt confident in. Maybe because it’s my city, maybe because there are a lot of clichés about Napoli, or because in the past has been photographed a lot and it’s difficult to avoid beeing influenced by what is the image of this city in the world. Little by little I started to get more confident in going around the city with my camera, and I felt the need to show the city through my eyes. Eyes of someone that knows the city and its peculiarities, but at the same time, someone that lived abroad for many years and decided to come back knowing that wouldn’t be easy to fit in, like it never was.

Chris Harrison

Biography

In the summer of 1987, I opened a magazine and saw Elliot Erwitt’s ‘Great Dane Legs, Boots and Chihuahua’ for the first time. I was mesmerised. Shortly after that my mum bought me a second hand 35mm camera (thank you Mum), and I went to art college to study graphic design and photography. I occasionally made some ‘OK’ photographs, but it took my naive and impatient 16-year-old self a long time to realise that candid photography (as it was called then) was much, much harder than Elliot Erwitt made it look.

Since then, photography has always been a part of my life. Sometimes being immersed in it (building my own darkrooms and printing my own work) while other times my cameras have gathered dust or been sold to pay for other things. In 2016, after a 15-year hiatus and a chance visit to Arles, I rekindled my commitment to photography. I’m still plugging away.

Anna Biret

Biography

I was born in soviet Poland where I found my calling in the spatial perception and geometric patterns of architecture. After finishing my studies in architecture, I moved to Paris, where I have lived ever since. I discovered street photography in November 2018, during a workshop by Maciej Dakowicz in Mandalay, Burma. That was the first spark that incited a whole photography related trips.

When I go out in the street with my camera, I have no precise idea of what I am going to photograph. A priori everything interests me, the ordinary scenes, the details, the light, the colors, the shapes and above all the people inspire me. I respect people, I don’t want to attack them. I don’t use flash, ever. My presence is accepted, why I don’t know. I never put people in a situation. I adapt to the scene, I try to preserve natural expressions. I make candid street photos, simplifying the chaotic mess of life with a sense of beauty, to bring out some mystery and order. I love to capture those moments that make every moment beautiful in everyday life.

I was at the bus station, and this girl on her way to school caught my attention. She had a very intriguing personality, a form of pride and modernity, which is in direct contrast to the reality of living in India.
