Signed, Paul Cupido - Drifting Stones - 2025

Drifting Stones, signed by Paul Cupido and limited to 500 copies, it was sold out in pre-order... In Drifting Stones, Paul Cupido expands his visual meditation on impermanence, interweaving image, memory, and emotion through the elusive lens of Mu, the Japanese philosophical concept of emptiness as fertile space. The stones in question are neither fixed nor heavy, but suspended in motion: symbols of transience, trapped adrift between gravity and liberation. Cupido's photographs in this series are perceived as whispers from another world. They don't document, they dissolve. Blurry edges, soft focus, fleeting silhouettes: each frame is a pause, a respite, an invitation to surrender to the present. These images glow with the understanding that nothing lasts, and in that very truth lies a serene and aching beauty. Amplifying this meditative journey is an original soundtrack by electronic composer Pawel Pruski. Known for his immersive ambient soundscapes, Pruski fuses modular synthesis, field recordings, and algorithmic patterns to create sonic worlds that feel simultaneously scientific and deeply human. His music doesn't accompany Cupid's images; it floats among them, reflecting their logic of drift, chance, and emotional depth. Drifting Stones is more than a photobook. It is a sensorial dialogue between two artists who understand the poetry of disappearance. A space where sound becomes light and light becomes silence. It doesn't ask for answers, but for attention.
