SUPERHEROES ARE HUMAN BEINGS TOO
Eduardo Moreno, Kenya
SUPERHEROES ARE HUMAN BEINGS TOO
DESCRIPTION
Superheroes are children of myths and legends, perhaps some of them demigods. They possess incredible strengths and powers. Sometimes innate qualities and attributes that make them different from human beings. Their mission is to protect, teach, entertain, and fight crime; but occasionally they are transgressors and villains. They are symbols of disorder and destruction and inheritors of evil and chaos. Others represent values of kindness, innocence, and optimism.

Some like to descend from Olympus where they live to the central areas of cities to be photographed, touched, and admired by the people who walk by. However, Heroes take breaks too. Tired of the efforts to make the world a better or worst place, they eat, sleep, rest and pray almost like everyone else.

I decided to follow and photograph them in those moments when they abandon themselves to their needs, appearing as simple human beings. Then I realized that they have feelings, insecurities, hopes and fears like you and me.
AUTHOR
I like to travel and encounter the world with its streets and its people, but the part that corresponds
to my interest, my vision and philosophy of life. My photos are a look at someone's world, a journey
into their space and their life; an attempt to build a story without affection, as part of a social
commitment.

The photos are the expression of my intuition, perhaps of my desires, my own synthesis of the world
condensed in a moment. I hope these images arouse more suspicions than certainties in a way that
is possible to speculate with them to open paths of contrasting narratives.

I present different visual stories that intersect in the streets and in their plurality create a certain
connection; a new sense. These images can be regard, a hand, a detail or a full scene; a fixed
temporality that captures movement.

My images aim to reunite us with the common man, using a simple visual grammar that reveals the
value of the everyday hidden life. Images that are the time of the people and the people in their
time.

I like to walk around the city and photograph what spontaneously appears, but not all, a piece of
landscape and the reality and the fiction that goes with it. The characters are always taken by
surprise and thus do not influence their own representation. Walk and learn about the narrative that the space contains, finding a storm of things, a ship wreck of ideas, a unique grammar of the city. Walk without a script to rewrite a monograph of the place with my steps, periods and images. Catch lights and shadows of the twilight that escapes little by little through the camera.
