SONDER

 

At the beginning of Davide’s studies, one of his projects influenced him into picking up a film camera and recording events that surround the University of the Witwatersrand; Braamfontein. Much of what Davide recorded was based off of one of this current, ongoing project (SONDER); This Black and White photographic series contains all that has to do with the relevance and direct contact everyone, and everything, has with their state of sonder.

Sonder

n. the realisation that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own—populated with their own ambitions, friends, routines, worries and inherited craziness—an epic story that continues invisibly around you like an anthill sprawling deep underground, with elaborate passageways to thousands of other lives that you’ll never know existed, in which you might appear only once, as an extra sipping coffee in the background, as a blur of traffic passing on the highway, as a lighted window at dusk.
