Galleria Borghese: marble biblic hero mid-swing, ceiling doing its Baroque flex, and us, tiny, politely fenced mammals, trying to “experience” it through a slab of glass. I waited for the guide to raise the tablet, not because I love screens, but because it turns the room into a time loop: sculpture, then its almost pixel double, then the human face caught between both. Even the guy on the right is doing the classic museum pose: chin-on-fist, pretending the wall text is philosophy.
Composition decision: I pushed the statue hard to the left and let the wide room breathe so the people feel like annotations, not protagonists. The tablet becomes the punctuation mark.
Technical: Leica M10 Monochrom + Atoll 1:2.8/17.
