ABOUT — Through the exploration and appropriation of images from diverse historical visual archives—including the Photography Collection of the Cultural Institute of Ponta Delgada and the Colonel Afonso Chaves Archive at the Carlos Machado Museum Collection—this project delves into a speculative journey into the visual traces of a shipwreck. Interweaving these images with visual documentation of the island and its inhabitants, it evokes an eerie tension between the natural landscape and human presence. “Travel of No Return” explores photography's ability to transcend temporal and spatial boundaries, fostering an ongoing reinterpretation of visual traces. It delves into the inherent temporality of images, suspended in the present, through a sequence that unfolds via the experience of place and the revisiting of archival imagery. In this ‘travel of no return’ enabled by photography, one confronts the boundaries and possibilities of our own reality. — Pico do Refugio Art Residency Azores, 2017 ​ EXHIBITIONS — Arquipélago Contemporary Art Center.
