This book is part of a project with the same name in which the artist presents his reflections on the period of crisis in Portugal (2012-2015). João Fonte Santa “proposes a kind of visual sample of this society of the future, remains recovered not from a destructive cataclysm, but from a civilizational ruin, a progressive disappearance of a type of social assumptions that guided currents and lines of thought in the 19th and 20th centuries”.

Liz Vahia (2014).
