It’s hard to say what or where “Bluetown” is, where it begins and where it ends. It is even harder to say when it takes place. One thing we know for sure - there are several aspects in common between “Bluetown” and the city of London. “Bluetown” is, therefore, a kind of “second order” city, an imaginary place made of fragments of a previously existing reality. The colours, shapes and atmospheres of “Bluetown” are those of a well worn tableau vivant, one that has been unconsciously sculpted by previous generations of citizens. And it wouldn’t be abusive to say that, at least occasionally, we all have been visitors of “Bluetown”.

But how can one find “Bluetown”? The answer to this question is neither simple nor easy to find because no one has ever tried to map it before. To help solve this question, Guimarães employed an unlikely method that mixes randomness with cartographic objectivity: he started by superimposing an outline of Queen Elizabeth’s face on the map of London. He then plotted a number of evenly spaced points that served as a grid of geographic coordinates which he then used to identify the checkpoints of this photographic survey. By visiting and photographing a detail present around each one of these locations, Guimarães created a puzzle that could be read, according to him, as “the dream of London about itself, a celebration of the beauty of its own alienation and loneliness”. The choice of Queen Elizabeth’s face is a symbolism for “Englishness”, a necessary condition to approach the geography of “Bluetown”. Despite being a view aesthetically forged by Guimarães’ own interests in the plastic qualities of colour, geometry and space, the “other” space depicted by “Bluetown” constitutes, de facto, the psychological geography of the photographer’s own otherness in relation to the city of London.

About this archive:

The creation of Cityzines collection intends to strengthen and promote the study and dissemination of author’s editions and other publications linked to the theme of architecture, city and territory, where the image and photography are present in a significant way, with a special interest and focus on the multifaceted richness of urban, architectural and visual culture that characterizes the urban agglomerations and their experiences.
This collection started with a survey more focused on the Portuguese context, but also integrates publications from other countries with a view to internationalization of the project.
The publications that will constitute this collection of the Cityzines project will be cataloged from the following general theme:


Artistic and Documentary Photography: Architecture, City and Territory

It was decided to start this collection by topic A1 - Artistic Photography and Documentary: Architecture, City and Territory, for reasons connected with only two facts: first there is at this time, a greater number of alternative publications pertaining to this topic, according by the fact that they had already been there longer subject specific study through the work of the research line City spaces and Culture of the CCRE group.

As we will see next, we have adopted a sub-theme structure in order to organize the field of alternative publications, covering several areas and formats, as previously described in the general theme of Documentary and Artistic Photography: Architecture, City and Territory. Even though all sub-themes show differences between them, they all fit the general theme and they have in common the focus and the importance given to image/photography, as well as the innovative and/or irreverent stance.

“The evolution of species and the adaptation of themselves to the environment that surround them inspired the formal concept of this study cell. This inspiration evolved from the integration of a programme of the study's center and its natural ampliation. The equipment that is presented is intrinsically connected to the symbiosis that exists in a botanical garden and the butterfly's metamorphic process."

“Robert Hutinski milks the ethereal substance of memories from the raw material of half-torn images found in his town’s archives, crafting a tale of remembrance and disappearence.
Priests, doctors, soldiers, tavern regulars, sleeping beauties inhabit a map which key is lost forever once the caption accompanying them is gone.
Atavism traces the contours of a map of collective memory, where the actors gradually disappear leaving no trace behind but the places they used to live in.
A lyric exploration of human consciousness where the faulty path from recollection to memory takes place, an arbitrary and contingent process which transform experience into history. Some moments are saved, some other drown. Recollections inescapably fade away, leaving behind a flotsam of images beyond interpretation, silent as sphynxes, drifting until the day they disappear in the whirlpool of time."

'All Beauty Must Diw' is a reference to the lyrics of Nick Cave's 'Where the Wild Roses Grow', a duet with Kylie Minogue released with Nick Cave's 1996 record 'Murder Ballads', but also to John Keats' 'Ode on Melancholy': "She dwells with Beauty - Beauty that must die". This book collects multilingual comments left by anonymous visitors of the show "All Beauty Must Die" presented in 2010 at Museu Coleccção Berardo. The exhibition included photographs, a video and posters with pop song lyrics and poetry of the English Romantic period, aiming to evoke an idyllic atmosphere inspired by the ideals of youth and nature. The intention was to create an indie bok of sorts, referencing the world o fanzine, by using a set of higly contrasted black and white images that establish a dialogue with anonymous phrases, be they love messages, political slogans, random thoughts, quotes or testiomonies.

"Depois de estudar o trabalho de Thomas Struth e escolher "uses without users" como tema para o projecto de grupo, quis explorar o mesmo tema mas com uma outra identidade gráfica. Comecei por me interessar em como o edificado consegue expressar as marcas das pessoas. Na envolvente do jardim botânico identifiquei duas formas. Primeiro, existem muitas casas semelhantes, construídas no mesmo plano, mas diferentes graças ao habitante que, ano após ano, personaliza-a. Usos são expressados pela a apropriação do espaço. Entre essas casas semelhantes, alguma estão abandonadas mas lembram usos passados: é aquilo a que chamei de desapropriação do espaço. Por isso, decidi criar um espelho entre apropriação e desapropriação."

Sobre este arquivo:

A criação da colecção Cityzines pretende fortalecer e promover a divulgação e estudo de edições de autor e outras publicações ligadas à temática de arquitectura, cidade e território, onde a imagem e a fotografia estão presentes de forma significativa, existindo um especial interesse e enfoque sobre a riqueza multifacetada da cultura urbana, arquitectónica e visual que caracteriza os aglomerados urbanos e as suas vivências.
A colecção iniciou com um levantamento mais focalizado no contexto português, mas também  integra publicações de outros países com vista à internacionalização do projecto.
As publicações que vão constituir esta colecção do projecto Cityzines serão catalogadas a partir do seguinte tema geral:
 
Fotografia Documental e Artística: Arquitectura, Cidade e Território
 
Decidiu-se iniciar esta colecção pelo tema Fotografia Documental e Artística: Arquitectura, Cidade e Território, por razões que se prendem apenas com dois factores: primeiro o de existir, neste momento, um maior número de publicações alternativas associados a este tema, segundo, por estas terem sido há mais tempo objecto de estudo específico do trabalho desenvolvido pela linha de investigação Espaços de Cidade e Cultura do grupo CCRE.
 
Como veremos de seguida, adoptámos uma estrutura de sub-categorias de forma a organizar o campo das publicações, cobrindo diversas áreas e formatos. Ainda que algumas sub-categorias apresentem diferenças entre si, todos eles encaixam no tema geral e têm em comum a importância e foco na imagem/fotografia, assim como um carácter de investigação e/ou a postura inovadora.
 
Fotografia Documental e Artística: Arquitectura, Cidade e Território

Edições de Autor e outras Publicações periódicas (A1.PaP)
 
- em termos gerais, publicações periódicas que reflectem e investigam, através da imagem e/ou fotografia, e de forma critica, exploratória e inovadora as temáticas da arquitectura, cidade e território;
 
- Fanzines, little magazines de fotografia: publicações independentes e não-tradicionais onde a fotografia é particularmente usada como o principal instrumento visual e meio para perceber, compreender e analisar não só a arquitetura mas também o modo como as pessoas vivem e se apropriam de diversos lugares; 

- publicações periódicas de contracultura ou não-tradicionais dedicadas à fotografia social e documental ou contemporânea e outras publicações relacionadas.
 
Edições de Autor e outras Publicações não periódicas (A1.nPaP)
 
- em termos gerais, publicações que reflectem e investigam ,através da imagem e / ou fotografia, e de forma critica, exploratória e inovadora as temáticas da arquitectura, cidade e território;
 
- foto-livros e/ou livros de artista especificamente relacionados com o universo da arquitectura: publicações independentes e não-tradicionais onde a fotografia é particularmente usada como o principal instrumento visual e meio para perceber, compreender e analisar não só a arquitetura mas também o modo como as pessoas vivem e se apropriam de diversos lugares;
 
- foto-livros ou/e livros de artista mais relacionados com fotografia documental.
 
 
Pretendemos, com esta colecção, promover a consciencialização e a reflexão sobre a arte e a fotografia documental, relativamente à sua concepção como instrumento para questionar o universo da Arquitectura, da Cidade e do Território. Isto significa entender a Arquitectura como uma disciplina e uma prática extensivas, com interesse, por um lado, pelo espaço real e suas experiências, explorando novas formas espaciais e códigos arquitectónicos e, por outro, pelo modo como a arquitectura opera no âmbito de sistemas mais vastos: socio-culturais, técnicos e históricos.
 
A colecção física debruçar-se-á predominantemente sobre objectos impressos portugueses, mas também integra publicações de outros países e constituirá uma mostra/ exposição que irá viajar por vários locais, em Portugal e no estrangeiro. Este catálogo de Edições de Autor e outras Publicações apoiará a divulgação do universo destas publicações, funcionando também como uma referência para localizar publicações com carácter de investigação/estudo e/ou não-tradicionais relevantes e independentes relacionadas com a Fotografia Documental e Artística: Arquitectura, Cidade e Território.

"Culture has reached society along the times, it's not one social division so clear as the ones existing in the past. However, this visual work doubts that culture has to be the 'medium' of the society, which in other words means that you can't say that a society is highly educated because there are some people with great cultural ability, some idols to follow when, at the same time, there are people who can't reach it. In that way, I believe that a society must be measured by the 'weaker side'. (...)
See where nobody sees. Concentrate where nobody understands. That is the secundary goal. The sidewalk in which we walk is the indeference of the pedestrian's vision. It is a work of the 'architect of the city' to draw things that nobody sees. Go further than what people ask you. Know your needs without them knowing them."
 
About this archive:

The creation of Cityzines collection intends to strengthen and promote the study and dissemination of author’s editions and other publications linked to the theme of architecture, city and territory, where the image and photography are present in a significant way, with a special interest and focus on the multifaceted richness of urban, architectural and visual culture that characterizes the urban agglomerations and their experiences.
This collection started with a survey more focused on the Portuguese context, but also integrates publications from other countries with a view to internationalization of the project.
The publications that will constitute this collection of the Cityzines project will be cataloged from the following general theme:

Artistic and Documentary Photography: Architecture, City and Territory

It was decided to start this collection by topic A1 - Artistic Photography and Documentary: Architecture, City and Territory, for reasons connected with only two facts: first there is at this time, a greater number of alternative publications pertaining to this topic, according by the fact that they had already been there longer subject specific study through the work of the research line City spaces and Culture of the CCRE group.

As we will see next, we have adopted a sub-theme structure in order to organize the field of alternative publications, covering several areas and formats, as previously described in the general theme of Documentary and Artistic Photography: Architecture, City and Territory. Even though all sub-themes show differences between them, they all fit the general theme and they have in common the focus and the importance given to image/photography, as well as the innovative and/or irreverent stance.
Artistic and Documentary Photography: Architecture, City and Territory


Periodical Author’s editions and other publications (A1.PaP)
- In general terms, periodical publications that reflect and investigate, through the image and /or photography, and in a critical, exploratory and innovative way, the themes of architecture, city and territory;
 
- fanzines, little magazines on photography: independent non mainstream publications where photography is used as the main visual instrument to perceive, understand and analyze architecture and how people live and appropriate diverse places;

- counterculture or non-mainstream publications focused on social and documentary or contemporary photography and related issues;
 
Non-periodical Author’s editions and other publications (A1.nPaP)
- In general terms, periodical publications that reflect and investigate, through the image and /or photography, and in a critical, exploratory and innovative way, the themes of architecture, city and territory;


- photo-books or/and artist books specifically more related to the universe of architecture: independent non mainstream publications where photography is used as the main visual instrument to perceive, understand and analyze architecture and how people live and appropriate diverse places;


- photo-books or /and artist books more related with documentary photography.

With this collection we intend to promote awareness and reflection upon art and documentary photography in regard to its conception as a tool to question Architecture, City and Territory. This means understanding Architecture as a broad subject and practice interested in, on the one hand, the real space and its experiences, exploring new spatial forms and architectural codes and, on the other hand, in how architecture operates within larger systems: sociocultural, technical, and historical systems.


The physical collection will focus on Portuguese printed objects only and it will work as a showcase travelling across several places in Portugal and abroad. This catalogue of Author’s editions and other publications will suport its dissemination, being also an important international tool to locate relevant and independent non-mainstream publications related to Artistic Photography and Documentary: Architecture, City and Territory.

"Thework of the Aires Mateus' brothers consists of an exercise of fascinating abstractions that take us to the very boundaries of architecture. They are fascinating in their charm, seduction, or as Tony Freton puts it - they possess a certain style.
(...) This issue displays single family houses projects only. Within the differente kinds of functional programs managed by an architect, this is the one that represents specific demands which distances itself from other due to the complicity and complementarily with the client."

"Absenteeism defines the Botanical Garden. The garden is void of human life. The path that it offers is calm, one may contemplate, observe, stroll. The empty pathways create powerful perspectives where one may get carried away with its thoughts and memories in. In this way contemplation is disrupted by filters coming from what one may have seen before, and the empty pathways let these filters act. This absence within vegetation actually emphasizes the other type of life that vegetable life is. Then the architecture which is presented in the garden is lacking sense, it becomes hostil, morose, it cages vegetable life. And facing this abundant vegetation, lacking sense, it only represents emptiness."

"Urban contrasts intends to be a photographic reflexion of the contrasts existing in the river zone of the city of Porto, more precisely in the zone of Fontaínhas. As a succession of moments that lets appear the differences between, only, two levels. The heights are so close but with all the distance in terms of buildings and public space. The train. Element of daily transport emerges as a separation between the two realities."

About this archive:


The creation of Cityzines collection intends to strengthen and promote the study and dissemination of author’s editions and other publications linked to the theme of architecture, city and territory, where the image and photography are present in a significant way, with a special interest and focus on the multifaceted richness of urban, architectural and visual culture that characterizes the urban agglomerations and their experiences.
This collection started with a survey more focused on the Portuguese context, but also integrates publications from other countries with a view to internationalization of the project.
The publications that will constitute this collection of the Cityzines project will be cataloged from the following general theme:


Artistic and Documentary Photography: Architecture, City and Territory

It was decided to start this collection by topic A1 - Artistic Photography and Documentary: Architecture, City and Territory, for reasons connected with only two facts: first there is at this time, a greater number of alternative publications pertaining to this topic, according by the fact that they had already been there longer subject specific study through the work of the research line City spaces and Culture of the CCRE group.

As we will see next, we have adopted a sub-theme structure in order to organize the field of alternative publications, covering several areas and formats, as previously described in the general theme of Documentary and Artistic Photography: Architecture, City and Territory. Even though all sub-themes show differences between them, they all fit the general theme and they have in common the focus and the importance given to image/photography, as well as the innovative and/or irreverent stance.

Artistic and Documentary Photography: Architecture, City and Territory


Periodical Author’s editions and other publications (A1.PaP)
- In general terms, periodical publications that reflect and investigate, through the image and /or photography, and in a critical, exploratory and innovative way, the themes of architecture, city and territory;
 
- fanzines, little magazines on photography: independent non mainstream publications where photography is used as the main visual instrument to perceive, understand and analyze architecture and how people live and appropriate diverse places;

- counterculture or non-mainstream publications focused on social and documentary or contemporary photography and related issues;
 
Non-periodical Author’s editions and other publications (A1.nPaP)
- In general terms, periodical publications that reflect and investigate, through the image and /or photography, and in a critical, exploratory and innovative way, the themes of architecture, city and territory;


- photo-books or/and artist books specifically more related to the universe of architecture: independent non mainstream publications where photography is used as the main visual instrument to perceive, understand and analyze architecture and how people live and appropriate diverse places;


- photo-books or /and artist books more related with documentary photography.

With this collection we intend to promote awareness and reflection upon art and documentary photography in regard to its conception as a tool to question Architecture, City and Territory. This means understanding Architecture as a broad subject and practice interested in, on the one hand, the real space and its experiences, exploring new spatial forms and architectural codes and, on the other hand, in how architecture operates within larger systems: sociocultural, technical, and historical systems.


The physical collection will focus on Portuguese printed objects only and it will work as a showcase travelling across several places in Portugal and abroad. This catalogue of Author’s editions and other publications will suport its dissemination, being also an important international tool to locate relevant and independent non-mainstream publications related to Artistic Photography and Documentary: Architecture, City and Territory.

MEMORY IDENTITY AND PLACE FROM THE EVANESCENT IMAGES OF TIAGO CASANOVA

MEMORY IDENTITY AND PLACE FROM THE EVANESCENT IMAGES OF TIAGO CASANOVA 

by Pedro Leão Neto

“WHAT THE PHOTOGRAPH REPRODUCES TO INFINITY HAS OCCURRED ONLY ONCE: THE PHOTOGRAPH MECHANICALLY REPEATS WHAT COULD NEVER BE REPEATED EXISTENTIALLY.”

Roland Barthes, Camera Lucida: Reflections on Photography (Published May 1st 1982 by Hill and Wang - first published 1980)

The project Teste À Capacidade Mnemónica Da Fotografia by Tiago Casanova, which won the BES Revelação 2012 award, is an intense artistic work in which memory, identity, and places are questioned throughout three different moments, each one corresponding to a specific exploration of the photographic medium that is being used and its relationship with the exercise of memory and its meaning.

We have, in a first moment, the projection of seven analog films bought by Tiago Casanova himself at a flea market in Barcelona, which report a family’s summer vacation in the coastal town of Javea (Alicante, Spain) in 1977. This projection is made by Tiago Casanova with the help of his grandfather projector, which malfunctioning causes the film to overheat and eventually burn slightly. Thus the images, which were “adrift” inside 8 mm bobbins for years until they were found in a flea market, begin to slowly disappear, making all those memories fade in a rather romantic way. The analog projection is digitally recorded in order to allow its reproduction during the exhibition.

The second moment is composed of a set of photos from Tiago Casanova’s own personal archive, which are also damaged. Captured with a medium-format second-hand camera during a trip through the Portuguese and Mediterranean coast in 2011, these photos are ironically printed in high-quality paper and framed.

Lastly, in the third moment, Tiago Casanova builds new memories about his trips and personal experiences, questioning once again the ability of the photographic image as a mnemonic device that is capable of making us rebuild past events in the present, but now making use of instant photography to document his 2012 summer vacations with a Polaroid camera that belonged to his grandfather. The final object is presented as a photo album, referencing in this way the travel albums that were used in the past to catalogue archives and trip memories.

The quote by Roland Barthes, in the opening of this article, brings up a set of issues regarding photography and memory that seem to be paramount in Tiago Casanova’s project, allowing us to relate them with the concepts of identity and place. In this excerpt of his work, Camera Lucida: Reflections on Photography, Barthes tells us that the photograph mechanically repeats what could never be repeated existentially and by doing so it simultaneously touches two important matters: that of the limits of indexation of the photographic image and the memory process instigated by the photograph.

Tiago Casanova will, however, introduce in his artistic project a specific aspect linked to the images of photographs obtained from those devices and formats, which is the usage of damaged images, fragments of photographic images he uses as individual memory tools from several experiences and places—first through static, adulterate photograms, an outcome of the film overheating on the projector, and then with damaged photographs resultant from the light propagation in the interior of the camera and, lastly, with imperfect polaroid images caused by exterior temperature and humidity. We are therefore compelled to simultaneously question the unevenness of the human memory, the ability of devices and image support mediums to preserve those memories and, at last, to (re)think the importance of both kinds of photography as mnemonic devices of past situations and places: that of complete, technically perfect and immaculate images that “realistically” subscribe to the referent, and that of incomplete images, fragmented, more subjective, evanescent, and that do not adhere as realistically to the referent.

Dédalo magazine is a publishing project developed by a group of students of Oporto University Faculty of Architecture established as a space for critical intervention based on the encouragement of architectural discussion and the issues that the current discipline raises, never forgetting that the architecture is not an isolated manifestation of the other arts or social sciences.

INVISIBLE STRUCTURES: REPRESENTING A MEMORY THAT HASN´T YET BEEN IMAGINED

INVISIBLE STRUCTURES: REPRESENTING A MEMORY THAT HASN´T YET BEEN IMAGINED

by Pedro Leão Neto

Xavier Ribas studied Social Anthropology at the University of Barcelona (1990) and Documentary Photography at the Newport School of Art and Design (1993) and the author’s social awareness and background in these fields of study is well patent in his extended work covering several territories and places. His photographic projects also operate as both document and fiction, showing how an artistic approach can play an important role when analysing the modernity and contemporary transformation of the territory.

Ribas, by integrating into the photographic representations of his projects diverse concepts and ideas coming from philosophy, art and sociology2 is able to create powerful land- scape series where art and objectivity combine to address two ways of looking towards our contemporary territory. As Lluís Sabadell Artiga has written, “In terms of our way of looking, the meeting between modernity and landscape has generated residual spaces where our way of looking diverges in two opposed paths: indifference and admiration.” (Artiga, 2007). Ribas work covers the second path making us re-examine the diverse “invisibilities” of our territories.

His work is very representative of how politi- cal and economic power can control space affecting the built environment in specific ways, as well as the lives of people and their culture. Working with the ideas of invisibility and appearance, photography images are utilized to represent “what is no longer there”, meaning that the images gain a depth that go beyond their appearance. Within this context, scopio aboveground territory,
dedicated to the territory transformation connected with land art or large-scale land- scape architecture, as well as to regional or local planning, has decided to publish Ribas project titled Invisible Structures, which is a very interesting photographic project that works with the idea of “invisible” and “hid- den”, which consistently runs through his work since the earlier series in the late nine- ties, in an unusual environment and context.

We start by explaining that this work is one of the two photographic series [Mud is the name of the other one], resulting from the project commissioned by Photo España and supported by FNAC (Fonds National d ́Art Contemporain). We are here confronted with an invisible evidence of a pre-Columbian Maya civilization buried in the Petén rainforest. This project implied Ribas to travel to Guatemala in March 2006, where he collaborated with a team of archaeologists working in the “Proyecto Arqueológico Waka”, directed by David Freidel (Southern Methodist University, Dallas) and Héctor Escobedo (Universidad San Carlos, Guatemala) (Ribas, 2006a).
The images of this body of work seem to make the viewer plunge into a discontinuous and nonreferential3 jungle spatiality. One can spend a lot of time in front of them trying to understand those spaces and feel helpless in terms of knowing how to deal with them: there is no hint of socio-cultural context to read. Simultaneously, we also feel a significant exuberance and density in the pictures, which come from the author’s strong emotional and pictorial resolve of the jungle in its most basic and sensual form.
The author also explains how the title of this series refers to the terminology used in the context of the Maya archaeology to designate the site of a disappeared structure (Ribas, 2006a). This work has, in fact, a clear anthropological look because it discloses what is beyond the symbolic and biographical elements of that Maya civilization: the genius loci coming from the remnants and sediments buried under that jungle’s earth.

HABITABLE MEMORY: FROM THE DOCUMENT TO THE PLACE’S CONSTRUCTION

HABITABLE MEMORY: FROM THE DOCUMENT TO THE PLACE’S CONSTRUCTION

by Maria Joana Vilela

Terreno Ocupado, Délio Jasse

until 13th September 2014, Baginski | Project's Gallery, Lisboa

A place is always an erecting construction, in time. It is a sequence of events following one to another, a group of overlapped layers. So, any place memory is always a movement of and under transformation: another construction. From our experience of a place we retain and collect fragmented and evocative, personal or collective, truths: (dispersed) mental images, (historical) documents – such as cartographies, catalogs, photographs, diaries, etc.. And then, from our attentive contact with these remains we could get an emerging memory of this place.

Memory and archive are more or less complementary and colective (according to their origin) points of a map wich articulate, potentiate and complete each other. Our relation with them not only motivates but also supports the understanding and the building of a place memory. For this reason, in Terreno Ocupado,  the artist tried to edificate a city’s memory starting from his personal relation with the documents he collected from anonymous or from his own archives, in particular, with photographs; because photography is the excelent mean to investigate a personal or a collective memory, once it sends us, in its openness to multiple readings, into a visual recognition sphere, and so, more imediate and more universal.

Délio Jasse presents the building of his hometown’s memory – Luanda. Moved by his work’s goals and by the superation of the plastic limits of photography, he used many analogical printing methods. The colored photographs and their superposition in transparent layers, create surprisingly liquid and malleable images, wich transport an hard and complete narrative, challenging the usual intim and contemplative feature of a document, and calling the observer to get directly involved in the building of the place memory (as an habitable space). This intention is enhanced by the unfinished images’ construction at the gallery’s wall, that reforces the role of participant assigned to the spectator, and exalted, in the end, when some of those objects exceed their bidimensionality for filling a tridimensional space wich involves also and directly the human body.

At the galery, Luanda appears as a place of confronted, overlapped and mixed times. The city emerges from a dinamic construction of a place memory, based on an amplification of the documental, narrative, constructive and artistic value of the archive; specially the photography. The photographic support, as a remain of a place - an event, time, speed, group of different readings - opens to us a space between reality and creation where, naturally, is grounded the (poetic) building of this place memory, eminently completed.

PARTIR POR TODOS OS DIAS BY JOSÉ MAÇÃS DE CARVALHO

REVIEW OF PARTIR POR TODOS OS DIAS

BY PEDRO LEÃO NETO

“The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.”
Marcel Proust

"Partir por todos os dias" by José Maçãs de Carvalho (JMC) is an artistic project in book that allows us to dive in a fascinating journey of multiple meanings and places. Within the photography universe and through a non-linear narrative, the author invites us to free ourselves from the instant of time and to explore with a new consciousness, and in a poetic way, the multifaceted richness of the contemporary world and of its multiple contradictions, places and cultures.

We can speak about journeys because the project reveals an escape of what is contingent in life, an “inner state” and a reason to see and understand the world through a second look. As the author explains: “(...) I went from one point to another in daily intervals: I am referring to the late 90’s. Others (for year 2000), where made when crossing Europe to Asia, as who returns to another house, without feeling strangeness.

A work that invites the reader to read and decipher the images and, with them, to make sense of what he is observing, to build a personal vision of the real and go beyond the simple recognition of circumstances. Therefore, it is a significant antidote in relation to contemporary image-saturated, mediated times, nourished through the various media and networks, which interact with the collective imaginary and where fashion, advertising, and products regulate the weight of artifacts and human behavior.

LIQUID LAND BY RENDA EFFENDI

 LIQUID LAND BY RENDA EFFENDI

by Pedro Leão Neto

"Liquid Land" is the surprising second monograph from Rena Effendi, a widely published photographer from Azerbaijan who had already in print Pipe Dreams, both by Schilt Publishing. 'Liquid Land' is a superior documentary photography project, both aesthetically and as a social document.

What makes this poetic photography series really unique is its intriguing intertwined contrasting worlds. On the one hand, the apparent perfect universe made up of beautiful symmetries seen in diverse butterfly species and, on the other hand, the life of the people who dwell and work precariously among the oil spills and industrial ruins in some of the world’s most polluted areas, near the legendary Azerbaijan city of Baku.

Co-authored with her father Rustam Effendi, a dissident scientist and entomologist who devoted his life to studying, hunting and collecting butterflies in the Soviet Union, Rena shows her father's father's photographs of endangered butterflies, placed in plants and full of vibrant colours, side by side with her own photographs of a very different world. We are, in this way, also confronted with an entropic environment and urban decay of a land near the Caspian Sea and the city of Baku, oil capital of the world in the end of the XIX century - beginning of the XX - and where an industrial oil belt, better known as Black City, was established.

It is fascinating the challenge that this photography series poses to viewers since we are drawn to be simultaneously aware of very strong contrasting realities: the harsh conditions where those communities live, the identity, humanity and hope that those people are still able to maintain, in spite of those severe conditions and then the perfect world of symmetrical abstract and colourful patterns from the butterfly species.

As we run through 'Liquid Land' pages there are interesting visual and emotional links that we feel are possible to establish and that connect those very different worlds. These can be the interplay between the bold colours and patterns of the butterflies and the somewhat abstract shapes and tinted lights of those built-up ruin exteriors and wall textures. Then, the sometimes loneliness of some human figures and the empowerment given to them through Rena Effendi’s frames also communicates with the singularity and magical world of the Lepidoptera order and finally we are challenged to (re)discover the lost meaning or design in those derelict places, also the result of God’s Nature.

Rena Effendi’s 'Liquid Land' is with no doubt an impressive and very poetic monograph that we should not fail to visit and that holds Umberto Eco’s concept of “openness” by allowing diverse publics to fill what is lacking between those opposing worlds and image “fragments” with their experiences and personal sensibilities.
