An art project documenting Lublin at night. I wanted to show the beauty of light when there is least of it. At night you don't choose the light, you look for it, reflected in a puddle, in a car window. I took what the street gave me, and what it gives is a streetlamp shining at half power, and that is what I showed, because in that moment it was precious.
Night light is never one colour. A fluorescent tube is green, a shop window is blue, a street lamp is orange - and a night frame is where they collide.
The grain did not come out of the camera, I put it there. Digital night is too clean for what you actually see: an eye in the dark is noisy on its own, so a spotless frame lies more than a grainy one.
