A Parallel Planets piece by Unknown
Parallel Planets presents Fábio M. Roque
in Mental Memoirs: Hometown
* * *
"Hometown is a personal photographic project that comes from my interaction between my current situation and the space where I live, and that in some way, I am confined. Although having studied photography, and even have worked in the area, always on a part-time, photography was never, unfortunately, my main source of income. I always had to work in other areas to afford the costs of day-to-day and even to invest in photography, whether in formations or photographic material. Now I'm unemployed since August 24 that do not I exercise any type of work.
Hometown arises as a result of my firing, appears precisely when I was sure that would be out of work. The start of this project happened unconsciously, only with the passage of time, I began to realize what I was shooting, and so began the shaping of things.
Hometown is not exactly a visual diary of my current situation but it is more of a very distinct set of reflections, several reflections on my status of mind, frustrations, and goals. It is also a different way of looking at me, and look at the space where I live in." - Fábio M. Roque on his photographic series, Hometown
