O meu trabalho “In search of a collective soul” foi selecionado para integrar a competição do International Revelatio Film Festival que decorrerá na Estónia e Bielorrússia entre 11 e 17 de abril.
“In search of a collective soul” trata-se de um conjunto de fotografias da Beira Alta, que tenho vindo a fazer nos últimos anos e que são inspiradas no livro “Portugal – o Sabor da Terra” de José Mattoso, Duarte Belo e Suzanne Daveau. O trabalho reflete uma tentativa de compreender o que é ser português, passando por lugares emblemáticos que marcaram a história de Portugal e a nossa memória coletiva, sempre sem a presença de humanos, apenas as suas marcas na paisagem.
