Darren was interviewed on stage in 112th edition of Fotokroniek at Pakhuis de Zwijger. Programmer Dymphie Braun and Darren Smith talked about Mayflies, and how identity and originality emerge when people gather. As always, Fotokroniek gave the audience the opportunity to present their own questions and thoughts to add to the conversation.
