Fernando Lemos

Roupa Lisboeta [Lisbon Clothes]

It is not unusual for the same images by Fernando Lemos to have different titles. Some acquired a second title when they were shown as part of his retrospective À Sombra da Luz, À Luz da Sombra: Fotografias 1949-1952 [In the Shadow of Light, In the Light of Shadow: Photographs 1949-1952], held in the Pinacoteca in São Paulo in 2004, later joining the Berardo collection.

It is the case with this image, which also has the name Palavras Leva-as o Vento – Roupas Leva-as o Tempo [Words are taken by the Wind – Clothes are taken by Time], a poetic extension of Lisbon Clothes which, with its vertical arrangement, recalls banners unfurling in the wind.

In this image, once again, we see the photographer’s unexpected point of view, associated with the modelling of the light and his gaze as a graphic artist, which allows him to inscribe everyday subjects into other imageries and narratives.
