[ #Magreß ] The Lives of Others. The Difficult Art of Fishing.

Documentary series filmed in different locations in Morocco.

#Magreß is Street Photography and Photodocumentary .

#Magreß is a black and white analogue documentary photo report, shot in various locations in Morocco, which narrates in 22 images the untold lives, the daily life of the constant passage of time, the lack of rest, and the constant uncertainty about the future. The wrinkles in the skin betray the discourse of memory, in hands and faces that hold the memory of a life that unfolds in the lyricism of frozen time.

Every day is one more, every moment is an instant already lived, every fire a burn that has already healed. #Magreß are stories of hard lives, of repressed tears. It is the documentation of the inert reality of those who have no relevance in the Western press, everyday dramas that don't make the news, that will never make the front page, wounds that give way to new wounds, tears swept away by new tears, the happiness of having nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Silences that scream, silent images that tell the story of an untold life. Traveling through northern Morocco, I discovered the strange, sometimes extreme, relationship society develops between family and work, with no distinction between age or gender, no regard for the process, but merely the day-to-day precarious survival, with limited resources and no prospects or desire for change, the resignation to an assumed destiny, a mere illusion in the lives of others...
