Memórias

memories
Estou só. 
Este barulho gela-me.
Esta névoa persegue-me, dissolve-se no meu corpo, quer-me levar, quer-me prender, mas permaneço encostada, sem querer olhar, sem querer ver que és tu que estás preso.
Arrasto-me para me libertar das memórias e sinto-te comigo, meu, como só tu eras meu, como só o teu corpo me sossegava...
e é neste sossego que me vejo ao teu lado, feliz, mas então, num ímpeto, vejo o meu corpo fugir, afastar- se, com medo de te perder...
e é este medo que deixa parte do meu corpo à espreita, à espera de te ver chegar...
e vivo num sonho onde as portas permanecem abertas para tí...
e é deste sonho que acordo num outro, onde fico novamente sozinha, onde te sinto partir de novo... e volto a ter frio, volto a ter medo de ficar só...
Ainda há luz, sinto-a, mas não é ela que me ilumina, és tu, sei que estás aí, tens de estar aí...
Acordo. Estou só. Estive sempre só. Texto: Armando Lopes

Urban Sociology: and the first stop was: Barcelona!
urban  

This was the first step towards the implementation of the draft survey
photo of some aspects of urban sociology in Europe.
As expected Barcelona did not disappoint ... I got the impression that
despite the mandatory icons incorporating any city included in this system of
globalization,this site can keep a peculiar fingerprint. It's a very cultural
space that has been optimized through various interventions to match
different urbanism conceptions
raised by society. It is a city with a very high social dynamic
in which each individual perceives and plays its role in society.
At the same time can handle this dynamic with a large
mixing of peoples and cultures. For this and other reasons it was very fun
and enriching this first approach to this personal project.

It is a work about our childhood imagination.
It's about reality reinvented through the eyes of a child. The space, the toys, the games...

Around the Park

around the park

The area that integrates and circunds the Natural Park of Serra de Aire e Candeeiros is
undoubtedly one of the most rich and dynamic that Portugal knows.
The concentration of heritage is vast and covers some of the most significant
monuments of history and national identity. Tourism is made by religion,
architecture, ethnography and nature.
That heritage drives a significant number of goods, services and people.
It was this human and material side that interested me.
I visit for several months some of these places in order to capture its essence.
The result is shown in a small selection of thousands of images that I collect.
