&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;

            <title>RUI VELINDRO | Agorafobia</title> 
            <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/v4/p550641980-3.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/v4/p68700206-3.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;

              &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.theportfolioproject.org/danielagarcia/redlilys"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.theportfolioproject.org/img/v7/p277497377-3.jpg"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;O projecto &lt;em&gt;where the red lilys grow&lt;/em&gt; , teve como inspira&#231;&#227;o para o t&#237;tulo o nome da m&#250;sica composta por Leonard Cohen &lt;em&gt;Where the wild roses grow, &lt;/em&gt;para o &#225;lbum &lt;em&gt;The murder Ballads. &lt;/em&gt;Apesar desta can&#231;&#227;o remeter para uma tem&#225;tica mais taciturna, o projecto nada tem a esse n&#237;vel de influ&#234;ncia. Com um car&#225;cter experimentalista, leve e quase l&#250;dico, este projecto tem como objectivo abordar a paisagem de forma pict&#243;rica.&lt;br/&gt;Atrav&#233;s da inser&#231;&#227;o de formas geom&#233;tricas coloridas, inspiradas nas formas org&#226;nicas das flores, os l&#237;rios em particular, pretende-se criar uma paisagem inusitada de cores saturadas e fortes contrastes crom&#225;ticos.&lt;br/&gt;Estas imagens pelas suas caracter&#237;sticas chegam a levantar a d&#250;vida se s&#227;o fotografias de facto ou foto montagens em que a uma fotografia de paisagem foram acrescentados digitalmente elementos externos.&lt;br/&gt;Tendo como conceito de trabalho as regras de composi&#231;&#227;o e disposi&#231;&#227;o dos objectos num espa&#231;o tridimensional, transposto atrav&#233;s da fotografia para um espa&#231;o bidimensional, este projecto pretende jogar com esse enunciado do inesperado.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;O meu nome &#233; Hor&#225;cio. Vivo numa cidade sem nome. Uma grande cidade, com avenidas largas, grandes edif&#237;cios, luzes, um metro, centros comerciais, an&#250;ncios publicit&#225;rios, carros... aqui, tudo &#233; an&#243;nimo. As pessoas v&#234;m e v&#227;o, sem se olharem. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Gosto de passear, sobretudo de noite. Gosto de observar os corpos em movimento sob as luzes da cidade. Erro sem destino, paro aqui e ali, nos bares, para beber &#225;lcool. O &#225;lcool d&#225;-me uma vis&#227;o das coisas que n&#227;o teria de outra forma. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Olho as mulheres. Se calhar sou um tarado, n&#227;o sei. Gosto de as observar, quer sejam reais, quer existam somente nos an&#250;ncios e nas vitrines... olho, mas n&#227;o toco.&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt;Tenho alguns amigos. N&#227;o muitos. H&#225; quem diga que sou um potencial serial killer. N&#227;o &#233; verdade, &#233; um exagero. Sou apenas um voyeur. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;small&quot;&gt;Lyon, 13 de Setembro de 2009&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

            <description>
              &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.theportfolioproject.org/josemorais/jardim"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.theportfolioproject.org/img/v3/p588438157-3.jpg"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Arte e realidade &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; Gosto de recordar as aulas de Geometria Descritiva, disciplina que logo me encantou pelo nome. Achava um exerc&#237;cio espl&#234;ndido, descrever a realidade atrav&#233;s da sua projec&#231;&#227;o em dois planos perpendiculares que se interceptavam numa recta designada por “ linha de terra” - at&#233; os nomes fascinavam. Hoje, penso a fotografia como um processo id&#234;ntico, no qual se l&#234; a realidade numa imagem, n&#227;o s&#243; a forma f&#237;sica dos corpos, a que se l&#234; na geometria descritiva, mas tamb&#233;m aquela dimens&#227;o que damos &#224;s coisas em fun&#231;&#227;o das nossas ideias e emo&#231;&#245;es. &#201; essa vis&#227;o que se fotografa e que mostra a nossa interpreta&#231;&#227;o e capacidade de compreens&#227;o do mundo. Vejo, muitas vezes, o lado ef&#233;mero das coisas, percebendo nos simples gestos do quotidiano algo de essencial. Num olhar, num sorriso, na maneira de andar, num momento de sil&#234;ncio, se descobre a poesia da vida.&lt;/p&gt;

            <title>BRENDA TURNNIDGE | Mould Art</title> 
            <link>http://www.theportfolioproject.org/brendaturnnidge/mould_art</link> 
            <description>
              &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.theportfolioproject.org/brendaturnnidge/mould_art"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.theportfolioproject.org/img/v1/p702201727-3.jpg"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Since the early 1990’s photographer Brenda Turnnidge has gained something of a reputation for her highly original hand-tinted photographs. Using traditional techniques she hijacked her images, adding an orange sky here, a blue field there, infusing new life into her black and white works. with vibrant, often psychedelic colour. The result was quirky and contemporary. Meanwhile, deep in her Asia archives, chemicals beyond her control joined forces with nature and started “ auto-tinting”. In 2006, Brenda decided to take a fresh look at her archives and discovered to her surprise that some slides were far from fresh. Over the years they had accumulated layers of green and purple mould. Tinting without trying. The result was often an improvement on the original stock shot. Part of photography’s magical moments. Mould art had invented itself. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;1985-2009 &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;To be continued …&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Je pense que la photographie est un m&#233;dium qui ne manque pas de magie. Apr&#232;s un quart de si&#232;cle de pratique je suis encore comme un enfant s’extasiant devant des ombres chinoises qui dansent. Avec mon appareil photographique, je me trouve souvent devant des situations spontan&#233;es du quotidien qui semblent &#234;tre mise en sc&#232;ne sp&#233;cialement pour le photographe qui se trouverait l&#224;.&lt;br/&gt;Aujourd’hui Tunis change &#224; vu d’œil, ceux qui l’habitent ainsi que son urbanisme sont &#224; la fois dans une modernit&#233; n&#233;cessaire et dans des traditions maintenues avec poigne. La photographie dans ce genre de cisaillement est un outil de premi&#232;re importance. L’ambition de chaque photographe n’est-elle pas dans le d&#233;sir de voir ses photographies reprises plus tard comme miroir d’une &#233;poque r&#233;volue ? Ce serait ce que j’aimerais que l’on (re)garde de mon modeste travail.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Hamideddine Bouali | 24 novembre 2009&lt;/p&gt;

              &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.theportfolioproject.org/nataliajaskula/stories"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.theportfolioproject.org/img/v6/p707474663-3.jpg"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt; Petite note sur ma mani&#232;re de voire et de faire de la photo&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt; Bien que la photographie passe aux yeux du grand public pour un medium id&#233;al pour t&#233;moigner de la r&#233;alit&#233; dite &#171; objective &#187;, elle est &#233;videmment, comme tout art, d’abord un but en soit. Cela revient &#224; dire qu’elle a le plus de chance de dire des choses profondes et pertinentes sur l’homme, son rapport &#224; l’univers qui l’entoure lorsqu’elle parle d’abord d’elle-m&#234;me, avec un langage qui lui est propre, en s’&#233;loignant – en apparence – de cette vraie r&#233;alit&#233; et en se repliant &#233;gocentriquement sur soit. Comme toute logique celle-l&#224; m&#233;rite d’&#234;tre pouss&#233;e jusqu’au bout, voil&#224; pourquoi je m’emploie &#224; faire des mises en sc&#232;ne. Il est, certes, assez difficile de concurrencer l’infinie richesse et inventivit&#233; de la vraie r&#233;alit&#233;, c’est pourtant ce qui m’excite le plus: construire, chaque fois que je prends une photo, un univers et des personnages qui pourraient – &#226;pres tout, pourquoi pas - &#234;tre vrais bien qu’ils soient cr&#233;es de toute pi&#232;ce. J’essaye de m’imposer dans mon travail une certaine rigueur formelle, en tirant le meilleur parti de tous les proc&#233;d&#233;s de construction de l’image, qu’ils soient d’ordre esth&#233;tique (lumi&#232;re, couleur, composition) ou d’ordre narratif. Ce faisant, je poursuis toujours l’id&#233;al d’une image qui happerait le spectateur en le faisant fantasmer et qui ne livrerait pas tout, mais donnerait des pistes que l’on aimerait explorer… &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Natalia Jaskula&lt;/p&gt;

            <title>MARLIES PLANK | Touristing at...</title> 
            <link>http://www.theportfolioproject.org/marliesplank/touristingat</link> 
            <description>
              &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.theportfolioproject.org/marliesplank/touristingat"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.theportfolioproject.org/img/v5/p43185876-3.jpg"/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Turned out completely different then i inteded it to be. Touristing at became somewhat of a challenge to me not only in technical ways. I always wanted to do a project with self representation (even though i feel slightly uncomfortable in front of a camera) and i thought the Artist in Residence would be a good opportunity to portrait myself as a Tourist in Coimbra. At first I was planning to shoot the pictures myself with an external self release shutter but unfortunately it stopped working after one shot, so I was more or less forced to ask the most embarrasing question i could imagine to others : Can you take a picture of me ? was the sentence I was going to ask on a daily basis .&lt;br/&gt;After the first pictures I found out that it wasn&#180;t that embarassing to ask at all and for others it seemed to be something pretty natural that a Tourist needs a pictured of himself posing in front of some national monument. During the first days I still tried to controll a lot of how the picture was taken and what should be inside of the frame. But after I saw the first results with fingers in front of the lens, pictures taken vertically instead of horizontally I felt it was very hard to describe to others what I see and that people had their own minds of what should be inside of the frame. I had quite a hard time in the first days to let go of that creative controll I otherwise have when I do the images myself but I came to see it as a coproduction with unpredictable results. I still consider it as an unfinished project because for me it still lacks the YES thats it feeling coming up normally after I&#180;ve finished a project so I thought I will continue with asking others to take pictures of me.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Eu e os Outros, o caminho at&#233; aos outros, fico perto de mim, fico perto dos Outros. N&#227;o sei.. Fico no meio!&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt; Pedi-lhes que visitassem mem&#243;rias passadas e que as vivessem em tempo real, foram momentos intensos que se prolongam no tempo. Identifiquei-me com v&#225;rios mundos, n&#227;o entrei em nenhum, vi o branco, vi o preto. De frente , vi o que estava escondido, mem&#243;rias adormecidas pelo tempo.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Ricardo Alevizos&lt;/p&gt;
