Stadion — Lokalderby, Freitagabend, 2012

A scanned photograph placed on a yellowed photo album page with corner slots visible, the photo filling nearly the entire frame with only a thin natural border visible on all sides. The photograph depicts: Grungy analog-style photo, early smartphone camera (Nokia N8), circa 2012. Two friends — a young person with short dark hair and warm brown skin mid-laugh, and a stocky South Asian guy with neatly gelled black hair and a trimmed beard, wearing a team scarf draped over a puffer jacket, pointing at the camera with a get-this expression — in the standing section of a smaller older football ground during a packed Friday night derby. Both wearing the home kit — a tight-fit Nike template jersey with a local sponsor patch, numbers on the back cracking and peeling. The stocky guy has a half-and-half scarf draped over both their necks, tying them together. The concrete terrace with metal barriers — fans pressed tight, some standing on barriers, pint glasses balanced on the railings. Behind the far goal, a digital scoreboard glows 2-1 in blocky orange digits. The floodlights are older amber-sodium type, casting everything in warm monochrome glow. Early-smartphone look: slightly noisy shadows, oversharpened faces, flash creating a hot spot on the scarf. Slight lens flare from a floodlight in the top-left corner. Natural skin texture with subtle pores and micro-imperfections, organic asymmetry in features. --ar 4:5
