À propos
Yulzine est un projet de collaboration débuté par des membres de yulblog. Montréal est reconnue pour sa double personalité; le projet présent, Duality, à pour but de montrer cette dualité. Il consiste en un thème annoncé aux quatre jours et pour lequel deux photographes et deux auteurs produisent chacun une photo ou un texte. Les photos sont "mixées" et les textes présentés côte à côte. Les thèmes sont gardés simples et les photographes et auteurs ont carte blanche dans leur façon de le montrer.
About
Yulzine is a collaborative project started by members of yulblog. Montréal is reknowned for it's double personality; the current project, Duality's, goal is to put forward this duality. It consists of a theme announced every four days and for which two photographers and two writers will produce a picture or text. The pictures are mixed and the texts presented side by side. The themes are kept simple and total freedom is given to the writers and photographers in the way they will show it.
Thème: EmptyEmpty plates
A restaurant at the corner of Mont-Royal and St-Denis, a place where the food is fast and served at any time of the day. It’s the middle of the afternoon but it feels like night, with a light rain falling. They sit at a booth looking over the street. They have finished their plates, down to the last bit of food. They are very conscious that they are not talking. At least he is.
