"What’s the best part of skateboarding life? I think that most of us will answer: landing a new trick. I agree with this one, but what’s the second reason why we love skateboarding? It’s traveling! Going on tour, discovering new spots – especially if you don’t know much about the city that you are going to. In this case, Istanbul was a question mark for all of us. To my eyes, the city with over 15 million inhabitants on two continents is an Oriental version of NYC. Maybe the expression “melting pot” was invented there. Eleven skaters squeezed in a van for nine people, five days in the traffic jam in between beautiful spots. We crossed the bridge from the European to the Asian side a bunch of times. The sound system in the van didn’t work properly, we were only able to listen to the radio. We listened to American music, European artists, and of course local ones. It depended on which radio station or side of the city we were in, but our favorite selection came out of our portable speakers. That’s the reason why we thought about starting our own radio station: Radio Bosforo."

IN OUR TIME | A short film about skateboarding

IN OUR TIME | A short film about skateboarding

Second part of IN OUR TIME (Photo Zine + Video) depicts the experiences lived by some of the key players of the Italian skate scene through the eyes of Enrico Cerovac – in various locations that still today represent a connection between its culture and all that surrounds it. It is a personal interpretation of the generations that frequent these places and the strong passion that unites them; a juxtaposition between the care-free life in the day on the skateboard and the digital era, and the varied experiences between them that have led Enrico, in these last three years, to document and collect new images of a fascinating and unique scene in constant change.
