Suspension, Echoes of Silence in the Exposed City
The book, conceived as a chaining of inevitable moments of the suspended city, includes an opening text (whose title is itself an autonomous moment-image), followed by a series of three cores, each opening with quotes from different authors (Bernardo Soares, Raul Brandão, Álvaro de Campos, António Alves Martins + a specific quote from a entry in the online Priberam dictionary). Each core is made up of a set of black-and-white images (between six to eight). The work ends with a folded extra-text image, to which an insert is added, including a text written after the book was already printed, a text that continues not only the last image but also the opening text (everything suggests that the author is the same).
