“Xtreme Sightings” is a photography series exploring the rapid transformation of human interactions in contemporary urban life.

Photographs flow from hallucinatory architectural views, where the observer is invited to question their own perception, to intimate close-ups of individuals whose behaviors have reached new extremes since 2020.

The viewer encounters a mutation of human connections shaped by digitalization and social networks, contactless dating and transactions.

Photographs highlight an overload of logos and advertising in public space, alongside a heightened sense of individuality within an increasingly globalized world

By associating hypnotic large-scale views with zoomed-in figurative portraits, the series invites onlookers to question both their ways of seeing and feeling.

It probes how humans connect in this accelerated present, whether in countries where same-sex relationships are criminalized or among newer generations for whom digital presence has reached saturation.

Today, human interactions have drastically changed in a very short span of time. Photographs, which morph between alienation and intimacy, playfully investigate these shifts and their unfolding extreme sightings.

This project is a candidate for PhMuseum Days 2026 Photography Festival Open Call
