De Passagem — Moçambique 1970–1973

“A gaze upon the gaze, revisiting a personal archive of original photographs, printed over 50 years ago. A wandering narrative that contains parts of an organised, commented and partially closed collection, which includes elements of the photographic practice, printing experiments, technical notes and chemical and physical processes. Images that transcend the date they were taken, revealing the underlying reason that precedes them, somewhere between the exercise of contestation and the act of survival. 50 years after the April Revolution, the possibility of scrutinising the Colonial War from multiple perspectives, in an intrinsic dialogue between memory and contemporaneity that transposes linear history and opens it up to new understandings.”
