TRAVEL OF NO RETURN 2018 Through the exploration and visual appropriation of materials 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 photographic traces. It delves into the inherent temporality of images, suspended in the present, in a sequence that unfolds through the experience of place and the revisiting of archival imagery. In such ‘travel of no return’ allowed by photography, one confronts the boundaries and possibilities of our own reality.
