Pink Car and a Sunrise

Pink Car and a Sunrise, Mývatn, Iceland, 2022

Some scenes feel cinematic, as if they were meant to be captured. This was one of them.

Driving through Iceland’s vast snowy landscapes, I felt like I had stepped into a dream. The first light of dawn cast a soft glow over the horizon, and then, in the middle of nowhere, a car appeared. Perfectly framed by the rising sun, it stood still against the endless white. I illuminated it with a pink flash, turning the moment into something surreal, as if reality had briefly shifted into another dimension.

This photograph became the official image for the Queer Palm at the Cannes Film Festival 2023, a profound honor that gave it an entirely new life. Seeing it celebrated in Cannes was unforgettable, a reminder of how a single moment can take on new meaning far beyond its origin.
