October on Lanzarote, Canary islands. Two Pentax cameras, a sack full of fresh film, and solid sunshine for days. Bored to death of the eternally overcast 1984-type of alternate reality in the UK, where I have spent the previous months, I decide not to make a single realistic picture.
I live for in-camera effects and I'm determined to double expose everything. I love double exposure—it's as if two pieces of reality combine to form a final image that's equal parts real, unreal, and surreal. And that's exactly how I feel about Lanzarote, an island off the coast of West Africa largely formed by volcanic eruptions—the most recent in 1824, making it one of the youngest places on Earth.
