What inspired Xavier Portela, in Kobe, Japan, is the atmosphere of a city but on a human scale. In this new series, the photographer offers a slightly different work than the one he presented in Glow. “When I saw Kobe for the first time, I immediately thought it would be a great city for Glow, but when I started the post-production of the pictures, I realized that it did not transmit the atmosphere that I had in my memories. The idea behind Glow has always been to reproduce what we remember of a place and not what we saw of it“, he explains.
