250_Ko is a low-quality images photographed between 2018 and 2021. Made with a second-generation Nokia 3310, this book highlights the raw use of the phone’s low-tech character, exploring its pictural potential. An unbridled freedom of randomness and spontaneity emerged from the phone’s simplicity, and its inability to rework pictures. 
Perceived as defective in the first instance, these photographs show the pixels more than the subject. Flaws are offered to the eyes first, barely allowing the pictures to defend what it aims to painfully show. Features such as grain, overexposure, blurriness, too much or too little contrast, and unexpected textures are the typical stigma that low-resolution files are condemned to expose.
A series of diverse themes and recurring aesthetics emerge from this compilation : the absurdity of the mundane; street poetry; scum poetry; floating landscapes and unreadable matters; and anecdotes sitting in between drama, tenderness, and chaos.

Recognizing the phone’s camera potential is a way of asking contemporary aesthetics and phenomenological questions, such as what is the legitimacy for these low-quality photographs ? And how wan we receive them, look at them, understand them ?
250_Ko provides a few elements to answer these questions while also allowing these peculiar pictures to move and interact with one another.
