Roberto Braga - Connecting Rooms
When every place seems already seen, framed by media, consumed by algorithms, and flattened by mass tourism. This photographic project looks elsewhere for the essence of travel. Not in iconic destinations or postcard views, but in hotel corridors, rented rooms, unfamiliar laundromats, or windows opening onto undesired landscapes.
By focusing on interiors encountered during journeys or holidays with friends and family, the work shifts attention away from spectacularized destinations toward spaces that are intimate yet anonymous, and therefore still unseen. These interstitial moments and overlooked fragments resist the overwhelming narration of travel that standardizes collective imagination, restoring depth to experience. The ordinary, far from being banal, becomes a passage to unexpected forms of wonder.
