Built Landscapes Photographs by Inês d'Orey from the the book by Valdemar Cruz
Collection curated by Helena Mendes Pereira
Inês d'Orey takes as her starting point for this exhibition the photographic work developed for the book Built Landscapes – The past and present of Portuguese architecture in 16 works + 1, by Valdemar Cruz. More than simple formal registers, Inês is carrying out audacious research into buildings and their contexts, to the point of building her own discourse on the photographed works, outside or independent of the texts associated with them. She doesn't contradict them, but rather complements them with a different perspective, responsible for opening new reading possibilities.
