shop window paper

 

 

 

"I stride through my city by foot – Baixa, Avenida, Cais do Sodré, Santos, Chiado, Alfama, Saldanha, Intendente, Avenidas (Downtown, Avenue, Sodré’s Dock, Saints, 4 Portuguese neighbourhoods, New Avenues) I walk around and, on the way, I find not dozens but hundreds of closed shops (and since I started this inventory, I see a new one every day). Its shop windows remind me of paintings.

These places where, one day, people have come in or come out and that are now closed in themselves, like boxes with no openings, from where the air stubbornly doesn’t come out."
