"During the spring of 2009, the photographer Nuno Cera and I went to visit the Cemetery of San Cataldo where he made a series of photographs of Rossi’s unfinished landmark. The cemetery was, as usual, empty and quiet. Nuno took his time, in order to choose the right frames. He waited, and then went in for the kill. His composure taught me a few more things about that place. San Cataldo is full of the critical memories of those departed who are interred here. It is at once rough and beautiful, like life itself. In the words of the architect: “besides the municipal exigencies, bureaucratic practices, the face of the orphan, the remorse of the private relationship, tenderness and indifference, this project for a cemetery complies with the image of a cemetery that each one of us possesses”. The banality of the entire setting wavers between the horror of anonymity and the magic of the prosaic. As we look out through the windows that alternate relentlessly between the tombs, life goes on.» Diogo Seixas Lopes “The Evil Twin”, in Uncube Magazine, 11.2015 " Text By André Tavares
