About
For Paul Cupido, the Moon is an existential symbol. It entangles man in the infinitely small, while at the same time, through its secret nothingness, it connects him to the infinitely great, guiding ship captains and dreamers through the night. In Ursa Major - the Latin name for the Big Dipper - the star's reflections become a lifeline in the heart of darkness: the photographer imagines a hallucinatory, punk story set on the island of Miyakojima, Okinawa, regularly hit by storms and typhoons. In the dark night of a post-apocalyptic setting where concrete reigns, a couple ventures outside. The shadow of the demons from Kaneto Shindô's cult film Onibaba looms as darkness takes over the paradisiacal beaches, tropical blue seas and sugarcane fields as far as the eye can see.
