I went to see the Carnival celebrations that take place every year in a large city square. I took a few photos, without having a clear idea of what I was trying to capture.
When I looked through the pictures again at home, I came across this one, which I don’t remember taking. It may have been an accidental shot, taken while I was walking with the camera in my hand and my arm hanging down by my side.
It is certainly tilted, but in its own way I like it. Above all because of the expressions on these people’s faces: while the adults seem to be enjoying the show, the children appear, to varying degrees, worried or even terrified (especially the youngest girl).
I liked the contrast between this consumerist, dream-like candy world and the anxious looks of the children that seem to be witnessing, almost hallucinated, a dystopian vision of their own future.
And besides, it isn’t completely crooked: the horse-shaped balloon is perfectly vertical
