NADA (Nothing), are photographs of nature, on Gerês mountain landscape.
They are shapes, movements, some fast (like water and wind), others slow
(like stones and trees), carved out and altered by forces of nature.
Although realistic, photographed without a specific technique or tricks,
it the ability of this medium to create autonomous realities, far beyond
the object it reproduces. As if it had the ability to create parallel
realities, with a life of their own, beyond existing, real objects.
NADA also refers to a narrative capable of affirming an idea and allows
to sustain or change the readings that emerge when passing each image,
like a page of a book.
This project is structured on the absence more than on a presence. Raw
and unattired, NADA proposes silence and reflection. It is an effort to
explore a frontier between the real and the abstract, through
photography that, as it seems, the closer and more accurate it is, the
more poetic it appears to be..
