TIMELESS, PERENNIAL, CLARA, HOME.

I was living with Candela when I met her friend Kevin during a dinner at home. Later, Kevin mentioned Clara. I then met Clara because she was looking for a place to live, and she ended up moving in with me. Clara is a cook, her brother is a musician, and she comes from the island of Majorca—like Kevin. I’ve always been attracted to people born in islands: their unique feeling of being part of a piece of land, a tradition, and a family.

I’ve lived with many different people in the same apartment for over a decade but I have rarely photographed them. I don’t know why, I’m not against the idea, but it didn’t happen much. But I portrayed Clara in the past weeks; early in our quarantine I felt that we were experiencing something extraordinary in the familiarity of our apartment. That’s what we captured in a bunch of moments on different days with Clara at home.

Who are you?

I’m César Segarra, a photographer from Barcelona.

How is this crisis affecting you?

I’m sensing how it’s key to be at ease with oneself, and work on self-care while the world keeps on turning. One strategy for living is to plan and rush into doing stuff: no way to keep on doing this now, we have no agency left. I’m hoping for this experience to be a learning process about my desires and motivations for work and fun. I’m getting ready for being out there, outside of my home, for a reason: for my reasons.

Tell me your favorite track at the moment.
