Eduardo Lourenço by Vitorino Coragem
Presented as part of the commemorations of the 100th anniversary of Eduardo Lourenço’s birth, this exhibition of portraits is the result of a photographic shoot with the philosopher on 21 March 2015 at Funchal Pier during the Madeira Literary Festival, whose central theme was “Beauty, Body, Word and Image”.
The opening takes place on the same day as the colloquium Eduardo Lourenço: A Life in Writing, and it is included in its programme.

«To perceive one thing is to see another in the place of what we are seeing. To understand one idea is to see another in its place. Absence is always the backdrop of presence, but this absence is the great presence [...]. To see is to be seen.»
— Eduardo Lourenço
