Oscar BernSousa, This is not a droog (JUNIOR 2023)

Or is it? I took my camera trick or treating on Halloween to capture some candid street photographs of people in costume. This photo was taken after the sun went down, when my friend got into a shopping trolley in a train station underpass. Although neither of us had seen the movie when this photo was taken, the combination of the concrete tunnel and my friend’s casually violent appearance is reminiscent of the Kubrick classic A Clockwork Orange. This creates a compelling image that can be interpreted in multiple ways.
