&lt;p&gt;&quot;For the Love of Strangers...&quot; 2010&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;From a sociological point of view my study of the &quot;strangers&quot; will never end.&lt;br/&gt;So I'm still in the company of Joseph Koudelka and the universe of C.Jung's shadow whom easily transported me to this aesthetics.&lt;br/&gt;The idea of intimacy is born with the forced proximity with the &quot;subject&quot;, a violation of some sort of a space one want's private in a social context.&lt;br/&gt;Emotional distancing, either through the abscence or excessive envolvement blur the vision. High expectations rise the light and lower the subject's distortion.&lt;br/&gt;Because I chose to love the stranger's I placed them out of focus.&lt;br/&gt;And so a plastic manipulation begins.&lt;/p&gt;

            <description>
              &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.theportfolioproject.org/andreianevesnunes/ines"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.theportfolioproject.org/img/s8/v10/p317857554-3.jpg"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Para retratar D. In&#234;s de Castro penso que a forma mais representativa ser&#225; a sua coroa&#231;&#227;o p&#243;stuma.&lt;br/&gt;Esse epis&#243;dio, representativo do imagin&#225;rio rom&#226;ntico, especialmente pela narrativa do amor-paix&#227;o que est&#225; destinado a um fim funesto. De tal forma que a introdu&#231;&#227;o do romantismo em Portugal fez com que o mito Inesiano cativasse diversos autores, em campos t&#227;o diversos como a arte e a ci&#234;ncia. At&#233; aos dias de hoje, D. In&#234;s serve de inspira&#231;&#227;o para obras em v&#225;rios pa&#237;ses. &lt;br/&gt;Uma das adapta&#231;&#245;es mais famosas ser&#225; certamente o epis&#243;dio de “Pedro e In&#234;s” nos “Lus&#237;adas”. A forma como o “Amor” &#233; apresentado como o grande vil&#227;o, sendo-lhe atribu&#237;das caracter&#237;sticas humanas, penso que enfatiza o dramatismo melanc&#243;lico do epis&#243;dio tornando-o memor&#225;vel. &lt;br/&gt;Como tal, sempre vi In&#234;s como uma “Ophelia Lusitana”, a perfeita representa&#231;&#227;o do ideal Pr&#233;-Rafaelita. Este grupo art&#237;stico fundado em Inglaterra em 1848 principalmente dedicado &#224; pintura, era organizado como uma confraria medieval e surge como reac&#231;&#227;o &#224; arte acad&#233;mica inglesa que seguia os moldes dos artistas cl&#225;ssicos do Renascimento. Inseridos num esp&#237;rito revivalista rom&#226;ntico, desejam devolver &#224; arte a sua pureza e honestidade que consideravam existir na arte medieval.&lt;br/&gt;A beleza et&#233;rea tr&#225;gica, dessagrada pela crueldade dos Homens e a recusa de In&#234;s de ir contra o seu esp&#237;rito, mostra como a sua hist&#243;ria &#233; exemplo da tem&#225;tica Pr&#233;-Rafaelita. O mito de In&#234;s &#233; simbolismo da imagem intoc&#225;vel e sonhada deste estilo.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A porta de artistas, o camarim, o corredor, o palco. &#201; ali, a recta final para o abismo. Tudo entra em ebuli&#231;&#227;o, as veias a inchar, os pulm&#245;es testam limites,os olhos raiados de energia, o salto da realidade para o abismo est&#225; prestes a acontecer. Um momento &#250;nico a testemunhar, os minutos antes de um bailarino entrar em cena. &lt;br/&gt;S&#227;o momentos de profunda concentra&#231;&#227;o e entrega onde &#233; imperativa a perfei&#231;&#227;o. Um estado quase hipn&#243;tico de concentra&#231;&#227;o e introspec&#231;&#227;o que tive oportunidade de registar. &lt;br/&gt;Apresento-vos agora alguns momentos excepcionais que tive a oportunidade de partilhar com o elenco da companhia &quot;Katakl&#242;&quot; (It&#225;lia) em Junho de 2008, em Lisboa.&lt;/p&gt;

            <title>DAVID BACHER | Paris-New York</title> 
            <link>http://www.theportfolioproject.org/davidbacher/parisnewyork</link> 
            <description>
              &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.theportfolioproject.org/davidbacher/parisnewyork"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.theportfolioproject.org/img/s9/v14/p33436611-3.jpg"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This project is a personal photographic essay, a juxtaposition of two wonderful, deeply layered, cities, Paris and New York. Since moving to France in 2004 I’ve been using the camera to record street life in Paris, from the small nuances that make Paris unique, to current events that often take place in this world cultural center. Often the two blend. Most images are simply whimsical snapshots of what I sense, often the result of walking and waiting, walking some more, and sometimes talking to strangers out of curiosity. &lt;br/&gt;A couple years ago I photographed the yearly gala dinner of the American Library in Paris. The guest speaker was Adam Gopnik and author of “Paris to the Moon”. He gave a lovely speech about what he calls “commonplace civilization” and drew several comparisons between his home, New York, and Paris where he had lived for several years with his wife, raising their young son and writing for the New Yorker Magazine. Mr. Gopnik spoke as eloquently about Paris during the dinner as he had described it in his book. Paris, like New York, is a place where life unfolds in front of you in parks, in cafes, or simply on a random street corner. In “Paris to the Moon” Gopnik often refers back to the Jardin du Luxembourg where he spent many hours watching his son playing with other kids, and most importantly riding the old carousel. He made parallels with Central Park in New York City, which also serves as a playground for the young and old alike. &lt;br/&gt;With Gopnik’s wonderfully humorous prose in the back of my mind I traveled to New York City in October of 2008 with the aid of a prize that I had been awarded by National Geographic France and Air France. I attended a week long workshop with Alex and Rebecca Norris Webb, which focused on improving one’s own photographic vision in the Big Apple. Each day was a new visual journey, finding one’s way in a foreign city with his or her camera in hand. After a day or two of exploring, I began to feel that as Gopnik had acknowledged, there were indeed several subtle commonalities between Paris and New York, but also many marked differences. Perhaps it was just the feeling I had that in both cities I could let the camera guide me, often for several hours on foot, only to realize that an unpredictable moment would appear when I least expected it. There is an edgy play of color and a peculiar connection between people, places and things that resonates in Paris and New York. However, many ordinary occurrences also seem disconnected and slightly out of control. &lt;br/&gt;I intend to continue this project into the unforeseeable future. There are few things more enjoyable than allowing oneself to become lost in a city with his or her camera. It is a challenging act of complete freedom and personal meditation that never ceases to encourage personal growth, self-understanding, and close contact with one’s surroundings.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;David Bacher&lt;/p&gt;

            <title>ANA PEREIRA | A tela de uma hist&#243;ria que n&#227;o se acende</title>

&lt;p&gt;A prop&#243;sito do trabalho do Teatro Bruto &quot;Alter-Ego&quot;, fui procurar as salas de cinema da cidade do Porto, algumas actualmente encerradas ou com actividades paralelas &#224; exibi&#231;&#227;o de filmes.&lt;br/&gt;Procurar as imagens, os fantasmas, as mem&#243;rias e particularidades de cada sala.&lt;br/&gt;Abertas as portas e acessas as luzes a vida volta a encher estes espa&#231;os como aquelas cenas dos filmes em que se acende a luz do parque de festas e lentamente come&#231;a a ouvir-se o som dos carrosseis e das pessoas ao fundo.&lt;br/&gt;Sentem-se os cheiros, s&#227;o vis&#237;veis as marcas das hist&#243;rias que se viveram, nas imagens, nos recados, nas fotografias, em todas as provas de mem&#243;ria.&lt;br/&gt;E estes momentos em que estou a fotografar, s&#227;o apenas pequenos intervalos de tempo, entre sess&#245;es, entre filmes, entre hist&#243;rias.&lt;/p&gt;

            <title>CATARINA ALARC&#195;O | Rostos que espelham paix&#245;es</title> 
            <link>http://www.theportfolioproject.org/catarinaalarcao/hodart</link> 
            <description>
              &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.theportfolioproject.org/catarinaalarcao/hodart"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.theportfolioproject.org/img/s9/v13/p606633623-3.jpg"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Numa perspectiva documental pretendi captar, em instantes, o resultado de anos de trabalho. Uma realidade pouco conhecida do p&#250;blico e que, tantas vezes, n&#227;o ultrapassa as paredes das “oficinas”.&lt;br/&gt;N&#227;o foi f&#225;cil libertar-me dos sentimentos que me ligam a este conjunto de imagens, ou que, na altura de seleccionar o que fotografar, me conduziam sempre a duas, ou tr&#234;s esculturas, em particular. &lt;br/&gt;Dif&#237;cil, foi tamb&#233;m, transmitir a no&#231;&#227;o do tempo que pass&#225;mos, eu e outros, com elas.&lt;br/&gt;S&#227;o figuras mais humanas que santas, concebidas como gente do povo, de tamanhos desiguais, talvez para traduzir o modo perspectivado como estariam dispostas. &lt;br/&gt;Figuras cortadas segundo diferentes planos. Tacelos que nos sugerem as dimens&#245;es dos fornos.&lt;br/&gt;A modela&#231;&#227;o desigual do barro individualiza o modo de vestir de cada imagem: vestes elegantemente pregueadas ou roupas andrajosas; remendos que revelam a classe social da figura retratada; bordados, pregas, pespontos, cintos, fivelas, diferentes tipos de bot&#245;es e abotoaduras.&lt;br/&gt;Desmantelaram-se as figuras, separaram-se fragmentos mal colados ou desnivelados, remontaram-se as pe&#231;as em novos suportes, fixaram-se cabe&#231;as aos corpos. Preencheram-se lacunas que perturbavam a leitura da obra. Limparam-se centenas de fragmentos, agrupando-os por formas, cores, tipos de pastas. &lt;br/&gt;Durante v&#225;rios anos viaj&#225;mos at&#233; ao s&#233;culo XVI. Recuper&#225;mos o que existia e conhecemos, um pouco, a personalidade de Hodart, o escultor que as modelou. Por ser tanto, e t&#227;o forte, o que vivemos naquele espa&#231;o surgiu esta vontade de o partilhar.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&#201; nos momentos de solid&#227;o que o outro em mim se revela. Liberta-se da morda&#231;a que durante o dia o impede de gritar todos os nomes feios que a viol&#234;ncia permite, quebrando todas as etiquetas da boa educa&#231;&#227;o e rumando &#224; felicidade.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Durante a noite o outro &#233; soberano, Reina sobre as longas horas de ins&#243;nia rasgando a pele dos seus inimigos, exorcizando fantasmas que h&#225; muito me assombram, tra&#231;ando com aud&#225;cia os caminhos que durante o dia n&#227;o ouso.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Para o outro n&#227;o h&#225; limites. Como enfant terrible que &#233;, bebe na transgress&#227;o a sua joie de vivre. Como s&#227;o belos os seus rostos Pop mergulhados num lacinante sofrimento plenos de teatralidade bebida nas artes performativas…&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Digo agora com tranquilidade que o Outro j&#225; n&#227;o me assusta. Afinal n&#227;o h&#225; mais teatro no sonho do que na realidade e os verdadeiros monstros, esses sim, andam entre n&#243;s.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A cidade ainda dorme. &lt;br/&gt;Preciso de me encontrar mas talvez, antes, de me perder. &lt;br/&gt;Sento-me e olho-te. Olho o teu azul.&lt;br/&gt;Algumas linhas come&#231;am a definir-se no horizonte. Mas ainda &#233; cedo. &lt;br/&gt;&#192; esquerda est&#225; algo que j&#225; passou. &#192; frente, talvez, o que procure. &#192; direita o que n&#227;o sei onde termina.&lt;br/&gt;Algures, entre os tr&#234;s pensamentos, tento conquistar-te. Mas foges-me… num golpe de asa ou deixando pegadas na areia que o mar ir&#225;, certamente, apagar.&lt;br/&gt;As horas passaram. Est&#225; na altura de continuar a minha procura por entre o colorido da noite.&lt;br/&gt;Num misto de tons e luzes sei que me reencontrarei. E que te encontrarei. A ti…que te vestes de formas, e de cores, t&#227;o distintas.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Dirigiu-se para oeste, onde sabia encontrar o mar. &lt;br/&gt;Talvez a&#237; conseguisse perceber porque se sentia oprimido.&lt;br/&gt;A cidade, &#224;s vezes, criava-lhe esse estado de esp&#237;rito e uma insatisfa&#231;&#227;o difusa, uma sensa&#231;&#227;o de n&#227;o se encontrar, de perseguir sonhos que n&#227;o sonhou. &lt;br/&gt;Olhou o mar e as poucas pessoas que ali estavam.&lt;br/&gt; O som cont&#237;nuo, perp&#233;tuo, da &#225;gua em movimento, f&#234;-lo recordar o tempo da escola prim&#225;ria. &lt;br/&gt;Lembrou-sedo Jardim em frente, da Pra&#231;a da Rep&#250;blica – parece-lhe um s&#237;tio parado no tempo, talvez pela fotografia onde todos os dias se v&#234;, numa tarde de sol, a preto e branco, com os seus pais – e da import&#226;ncia daqueles anos no resto da sua vida, pelo mundo que lhe foi ensinado, pelas impress&#245;es sentidas.&lt;br/&gt;Depois olhou, de novo, tudo &#224; sua volta e sentiu-se encantado pela vida que se revelava a todo o momento. &lt;br/&gt;Tudo era belo e ef&#233;mero e pousou o olhar no suave movimento da &#225;gua.&lt;/p&gt;

            <link>http://www.theportfolioproject.org/ruivelindro/agorafobia</link> 
            <description>
              &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.theportfolioproject.org/ruivelindro/agorafobia"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.theportfolioproject.org/img/s8/v10/p629952283-3.jpg"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ap&amp;#243;s ter visto e ficado ao corrente sobre a afec&amp;#231;&amp;#227;o mental denominada &amp;quot;Agorafobia&amp;quot;, fiquei sens&amp;#237;&amp;#173;vel a este estado psicol&amp;#243;gico. Como tal fiz uma pesquisa mais a fundo tendo inclusive entrado em contacto com pessoas que sofrem da doen&amp;#231;a e chegado &amp;#224; conclus&amp;#227;o de que um agoraf&amp;#243;bico &amp;#233; uma pessoa que tem medo de sair &amp;#224; rua, de sair de casa pois teme que algo de mal lhe aconte&amp;#231;a e ningu&amp;#233;m a ajude. Os pacientes ganham uma fobia dos grandes espa&amp;#231;os p&amp;#250;blicos e desenvolvem um mecanismo que as impede de sair do seu &amp;quot;lar&amp;quot;. Foi esta a minha filosofia e linha condutora para fazer esta auto-representa&amp;#231;&amp;#227;o, de uma pessoa que quer viver e sair &amp;#224; rua mas que n&amp;#227;o consegue, sendo ent&amp;#227;o obrigado a viver em casa como que encarcerado numa pris&amp;#227;o inexistente por um crime que n&amp;#227;o compreende...&lt;/p&gt;

              &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.theportfolioproject.org/joaoclaudiofernandes/nosbairronoscasa"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.theportfolioproject.org/img/s5/v4/p331945920-3.jpg"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Caminhar. Parar. Dialogar. Ouvir. Questionar. Quebrar preconceitos e barreiras. Criar la&#231;os. S&#227;o tudo verbos que fazem parte desta hist&#243;ria/registo fotogr&#225;fico sobre o Bairro da Cova da Moura (Amadora). &lt;br/&gt;Para o soci&#243;logo Zygmunt Bauman a sociedade globalizada &#233; caracterizada como uma “l&#237;quida sociedade moderna”marcada por rela&#231;&#245;es instant&#226;neas, virtuais, electr&#243;nicas (Sms,Msg, Hi5, Chat) que se apresentam como “flutuantes,fr&#225;geis e flex&#237;veis”.No entanto, as pessoas nem por isso est&#227;o mais pr&#243;ximas umas das outras. &lt;br/&gt;Fazer a experi&#234;ncia de se Ser/Estar pr&#243;ximo e acolhido continua a exigir colocar-se a caminho,sair de si e ir ao encontro do outro. A presente narrativa conta a hist&#243;ria desse encontro.&lt;br/&gt;Ao contr&#225;rio de muitos outros bairros das grandes cidades, neste bairro as pessoas conhecem-se umas &#224;s outras. Cumprimentam-se e tratam-se pelo nome. Existem mesmo rela&#231;&#245;es s&#243;lidas e dur&#225;veis entre elas.Quem por l&#225; passa percebe de imediato que todas elas fazem parte de uma fam&#237;lia. Esta forma de estar &#233; cativante. Talvez porque tenhamos j&#225; vivido isso e n&#227;o passe agora de uma curta mem&#243;ria na nossa mente.&lt;br/&gt;Ao longo de um ano procurei registar este encontro, estas rela&#231;&#245;es que se foram estreitando. &#201; verdade que houve momentos mais dif&#237;ceis, de desconfian&#231;a, de hesita&#231;&#227;o, mas tamb&#233;m houve momentos encorajadores, onde sorrisos, simpatia e valores se foram cruzando. Por isso, o t&#237;tulo escolhido para este trabalho tenha sido “N&#211;S BAIRRO, N&#211;S CASA”. Um modo crioulo de falar da uni&#227;o que se vive neste bairro onde &#233; poss&#237;vel ser-se acolhido, sentir a hospitalidade desta comunidade maioritariamente Cabo-Verdiana.&lt;br/&gt;As fotografias foram a forma encontrada para falar daquilo que as palavras nem sempre conseguem revelar, real&#231;ando e valorizando um enorme patrim&#243;nio cultural e humano escondido aos olhos do p&#250;blico em geral.&lt;br/&gt;“N&#211;S BAIRRO, N&#211;S CASA” pretende, pois, criar no p&#250;blico um est&#237;mulo, um questionamento e uma provoca&#231;&#227;o para olhar a viv&#234;ncia humana destas pessoas com outros olhos, criando pontes e aproximando os homens e mulheres de uma e outra margem.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Pelo Natal, &#233; tradi&#231;&#227;o as fam&#237;lias reunirem-se na consoada, &#224; ceia comem o bacalhau e as couves e alguns v&#227;o ainda &#224; Missa do Galo onde beijam o menino Jesus renascido.&lt;br/&gt;Nas zonas rurais re&#250;ne-se a fam&#237;lia alguns dias antes, para fazer as filh&#243;s, a iguaria mais popular desta &#233;poca. &#201; a oportunidade para a reuni&#227;o das gera&#231;&#245;es que permanecem no campo e das que o abandonaram de netos e av&#243;s. Os av&#243;s sentem uma alegria que lhes est&#225; bem patente no rosto, os netos aproximam-se das suas origens e recebem as prendas que trouxe o menino Jesus.&lt;br/&gt;No final todos levam uma parte das filh&#243;s para casa e o pr&#243;ximo encontro ser&#225; pela P&#225;scoa, desta vez para fazer os bolos da &#233;poca.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A tradi&#231;&#227;o transmite-se por um retrato vivo, que fica gravado na nossa mente… &lt;br/&gt;Tal como a crian&#231;a nestas fotos tamb&#233;m eu em tempos passei por estes retratos vivos da identidade de povo. &lt;br/&gt;De uma forma simples e dura, n&#227;o se pretende invocar a eventual crueldade das imagens, mas apresentar um reflexo da nossa cultura cada vez mais distante.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Miguel Costa&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;“All that we see or seem is but a Dream within a Dream” * &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;small&quot;&gt;[espelho] s. m., do Lat. speculo qualquer superf&#237;cie polida ou muito lisa com a capacidade de reflectir a luz; chapa de vidro ou de cristal, estanhada na face posterior que reflecte os objectos na parte anterior. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; Os primeiros espelhos criados foram pequenos espelhos de m&#227;o feitos de discos de metal ligeiramente convexos, polidos ao ponto de reflectirem a luz. S&#243; a partir do s&#233;culo I d.c. come&#231;aram a aparecer espelhos de corpo inteiro. Os espelhos que conhecemos hoje, feitos de vidro com uma fina camada de metal, foram desenvolvidos nos finais do s&#233;culo XII. &lt;br/&gt; Desde sempre que o Homem se sentiu fascinado com o seu reflexo, procurando qualquer superf&#237;cie reflectora na qual se pudesse reconhecer. No entanto procurava algo mais, o que estivesse para al&#233;m da sua imagem e do seu conhecimento. A busca pelo desconhecido tem sido desde o principio dos tempos muito importante para o Homem, a adivinha&#231;&#227;o ou contacto com o mundo dos esp&#237;ritos era como respondia as suas quest&#245;es durante a era ‘pr&#233;-cientifica’. &lt;br/&gt; Nos &#250;ltimos s&#233;culos a superf&#237;cie reflectora divinat&#243;ria por excel&#234;ncia tem sido o espelho, normalmente criado ou tratado para esse fim. A base deste m&#233;todo &#233; a cren&#231;a popular que a alma &#233; reflectida sobre um espelho. Assim, atrav&#233;s de medita&#231;&#227;o a alma comunica com a pessoa mostrando-lhe vis&#245;es do passado e do futuro. &lt;br/&gt; Talvez seja essa tentativa de ver a nossa alma, t&#227;o inerente e instintiva que nos torna por vezes narcisistas e enamorados do reflexo, que nem sempre o reconhecemos como a nossa pr&#243;pria imagem. Vemos apenas uma figura que nos hipnotiza e nos chama para um mundo diferente do nosso, assim como Alice que tanto desejava passar para o outro lado. &lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt; Andreia Neves Nunes [Setembro 2005] &lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;small&quot;&gt; * Edgar Allan Poe &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Debaixo de &#225;gua. &lt;br/&gt;Sempre que pensava em fotografia subaqu&#225;tica, sistematicamente vinham-me &#224; mem&#243;ria imagens-document&#225;rio. Nunca pensei em outras possibilidades… Este conjunto de imagens &#233; uma primeira experi&#234;ncia que encerra um dramatismo inesperado… Talvez na sua ess&#234;ncia transmita a rever&#234;ncia que o mar nos merece… &lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt;Miguel Costa&lt;/p&gt;
