Christian Jansen, In the Bloc (SHOT ON FILM 2026)

The "Red & Black Bloc" gather beneath Parramatta’s palms as Western Sydney Wanderers supporters surge toward the Sydney Derby. Shot on Kodak P3200 T-Max, the image embraces heavy grain and deep contrast to mirror the raw intensity of the moment—arms raised, voices lost in smoke and movement. The film’s coarse texture collapses individuals into a single, collective force, capturing football not as spectacle, but as ritual, identity, and defiance before kickoff.
