–I am drawn into the gratification of both the negative/positive or digital capture.
–Who are you?
Paul Mpagi Speuya.
–What do you do?
I am a photographer.
–Why photography?
I am too impatient to be a painter! I am drawn into the gratification of both the negative/positive or digital capture. But then I am endlessly patient and slow, caught in a loop of returning and revisiting material. There is a desire to hold, rework and complicate the results of that initial gratification.
