A LINE MADE BY WALKING, de Luís Esteves

Opening February 20th / until April 9th

The photographs on display were shot during a series of walks taken in the city of Guimarães in April and May 2013. Reflecting on the city´s heritage, the exhibit is evidence of the close relationships that exist between the different types of architectural typologies.

Each image was taken using traditional photographical methods and then a process of montage was applied to articulate two photographs of two different locations in the same city by using a common horizontal line. Demonstrating the interest to close the closeness between the two parts of each one of the images, the present exercise seeks to recognize the true social and heritage dimension of the city.

“Everything has importance in relation to space – the forms in and of themselves, the relationship between them, and the space which delimits them.” (Távora, 1962)
