(The construction of early modern global Cities and oceanic networks in the Atlantic: An approach via Ocean’s Cultural Heritage): Cape Verde are islands and, as such, seascapes.  

The thin, oscillating line that separates the liquid medium from the dry medium, and very dry that is the interior of Cape Verde, is only understandable by living your map. It is walking through its territory to feel its orographic condition, to see its net horizon.  

A blue sometimes in the distance, almost in costume, other times very present, imposing itself dramatically. If a border spans two worlds that seem distant, they also fuse them together, making them touch each other in a much larger spectrum.

I always start my photographic projects by raising questions that I consider important to answer visually. Then I look for answers, either through contact with people, interviewing them, or from places or objects that are significant to the subject that I’m working on. I plan so that through the photographic process I can follow a “controlled drift”: where casual and intuition work together leading the work, but never losing focus of the initial plan.

I really believe knowledge is an important tool, that’s why, as PhD candidate in Contemporary Art, I am researching the relationship between documentary photography and collective memory. The objective is to try to understand the contribution of the inclusion of fictional nature images that is, of a less documental nature, in collective memory building.

Personally I have always had the perception that as time goes by, pictures survive us while memories degrade. With time, I became more and more interested on how images relate and produce meaning, as well as stimulate narratives. Photography became a way of not forgetting  or rescuing me from forgetfulness.
