Photographer Gerardo Vizmanos’s newest project, was conceived in the Spring of 2020 in the wake of a canceled flight to New York City, and the initial solitude of quarantine. As the typically nomadic photographer remained confined to his London flat, he began to create using the resources at his disposal — a few white walls, some friends, and a camera.

Produced without Gerardo’s usual studio resources, this new project is subtle, sensual, and less glossy than his previous work. Shot in Gerardo’s apartment, the humble origins of this project gave rise to its name, Things I Do When I’m at Home. Much like the photos themselves, their title doesn’t bother with any frills.

Marking a shift from his prior work, Gerardo himself models in all of these photos. That fact notwithstanding, he doesn’t quite characterize them as self-portraits.

Gerardo doesn’t identify with his body as it is depicted in this collection. He instead believes himself to be present in the images through their composition and character. Though his body appears in this project, to Gerardo it may as well belong to a stranger.

From the beginning of his photographic career in 2012 (before which he worked as a corporate lawyer), Gerardo has been fixated on feelings of freedom and concepts of being. He’s particularly interested in the difference between physicality and experience. Our perceptions, he believes, are more relevant to our realities than the material world is. In Gerardo’s words, “we are constantly being created.”

His attraction to freedom isn’t just talk. He prefers to encounter people and places in brief intervals, walking a line between guest and voyeur. “When you live in a place for too long,” he told me, “you become blind to it.” In a place experienced anew, on the other hand, items as mundane as a refrigerator or windowsill can inspire.

In taking these photos as well, he welcomed spontaneity. One of the models for Things I Do When I’m at Home came to Gerardo’s apartment with a full head of hair. By the first shot, it had been shaved. As Gerardo emphatically told me, “the confidence makes the thing.”
