Some people believe in fate. Some believe in the power of coincidence.
While I happen to fall into the latter camp, the latest Denis Cherim photographer project is bound to agree with those on both sides. Cherim look daily through a single lens with eyes trained to focus on the art of chance. The resulting series is appropriately called "The Project of Coincidence".
We discussed with the photographer of his process, and what he had to say could well inspire you to keep your eyes peeled for any small wonders of life.

are at- there an image that triggered your decision to create the whole series?
There was actually an image that triggered the idea for the series. I guess it was more a special moment of my life. After passing through many changes in my work and in my life in general, I decided to create a photographic diary of 365 days. What began as a challenge has become a new way of experiencing the world around me.

Can you talk a little about your process? No guarantee of capturing the perfect coincidence, how have you managed to keep the series going?
The truth is that I pursue coincidences. Instead, they show themselves to me. I get carried away by the senses and feelings, and that makes me more sensitive when it comes to see them. There synchronicity all around us, but we are so immersed in our problems that we even forget to consider the environment. Coincidences are everywhere. We just have to be willing to see them.

How has "the draft coincidence "has changed the way you view the world around you on a daily basis?
I learned to enjoy things that seemed insignificant to me before, and that is very rewarding. When you expect nothing and then you see something interesting, it gives you the feeling that everything is possible. I really feel lucky.

What -what do you want viewers to take away from this collection?
I want to create a dialogue between the viewer and the environment. I want to generate interest in what was once discarded because it seemed too familiar or too banal. I want you to experience the power of synchronicity as I do by taking these pictures, and get carried away by this feeling of harmony.

instead of throwing our eyes down to small screens, we should all take a page of the book of Cherim. Life happens all around us. All we have to do is watch it unfold.
