Odysseus' Gambit 20 Dec 2015, New York
Saravuth Inn is originally from Cambodia. You can often find him playing chess in Union Square. The man is a scholar but has had a very trying life, and was the subject of a documentary titled Odysseus’ Gambit. We shared a smoke and a game and he beat me handily, but let me make a portrait in return. (Arista Premium 400, Nokton 35mm f/1.2 II, Leica M6)

The Beijing-based artist Matt Hope was commissioned to build a custom soundsystem for CCD, The Community, a satellite event to this year’s Beijing Design Week, so he stole a page from his teenage speaker plan book and realized the project in common plasterboard and off-the-shelf speaker drivers.
The Weak Soundsystem fit right in at the CCD Pavilion, nestled in the courtyard of White Space Beijing, and survived a week of exposure to the cultural and climatic elements of Caochangdi.
I was there to capture the destruction on film.
