On digital versus analog…
Alessandro Zuek Simonetti: Digital was not present when I was a teenager. I started taking pictures around [the age of] 17, when I was [interested in] graffiti and the skate culture. We were spending our days at train stations, waiting for the trains to arrive and to paint [them]. I’m not against “digital.” It’s just a different approach… I shoot in film, but basically I believe in the power of the image, not in the media that you’re using. You know, you can do an amazing movie with a professional video camera, but some of the best work can also be done with a mobile phone. And yes, I like the analogic way of shooting. I find it’s a completely different attitude. I like to wait a few days to see the pictures—this is probably because I’ve grown up with film.
