The Photobook: A History (Parr & Badger)
Lisboa: cidade triste e alegre
€ 1.750,00
The book avoids being a simple documentary or inventory of 'beautiful' isolated proofs. Instead, it focuses on the human and living Lisbon through its inhabitants by day and night, in its neighborhoods, downtown, and along the Tagus River. The arrangement of the images and the composition of the book itself have the flow and alternating rhythms of a poetic work.
Includes unpublished poems by contemporary authors Alexandre O'Neill, Armindo Rodrigues, David Mourão-Ferreira, Eugénio de Andrade, Jorge de Sena, José Gomes Ferreira, and a text by José Rodrigues Miguéis. The book is described as a 'graphic poem' with a layout that reflects the flow, rhythm, and resonances of a poetic work.
