The moon is an iconic element in Cupido's work and it recurs throughout his photography. Inspired by Basho's haiku at the beginning – as the moon woke him up nine times – we imagined the entire book as a long night of dreams, gaze at the moon and reflections, punctuated by nine awakenings populate by people and memories of the past or just shaped by mind.
Paul Cupido's affinity for the natural world was born out of a childhood spent on the Dutch island of Terschelling, where the ebb and flow of tides and the cycles of the moon reflect the fleetingness of life. Cupido's work is furthermore inspired by Japanese photography as well as his travels there. Japanese philosophical principles, and especially that of Mu, permeate his creative practice.
