JOURNEY WITH NO ROUTE

Português Center of Photography

​

This is a work that comes from an inner need of research, addressing the representation of the human experience upon a reflection on contemporaneity. An intimate exercise of awareness, where instinct reflects upon reason and vice-versa, in moments that Intersect internal and external realities.

The loneliness and alienation before the multitude. The emptiness urging the search for a lost spirituality. The vulnerability of relations in a desperate search for affection. The perpetual motion as a result of the constant anxiety. The numbness of the senses in the repetition of the days. The absence of values before the shuffled multiplicity of references. The acculturation process where homogeneity overlaps the individual. A portrait of present society and its dominant bipolarity.

Ultimately, an analysis upon the emotional and compulsive act of collecting and preserving memories, and therefore to revive and recreate them. Where the end is the journey itself. Such as life.
