Presentation notes
(…) Balance? I would dare to think that the Centre for Social Studies is more interested in the future of this past than the past of this future. CES’s home has always been the future, that is to say, CES is mostly where it is yet not. (…)
Boaventura de Sousa Santos, “Trinta Anos de Futuro”.
(…) Whilst facing the challenge of photographing the Centre for Social Studies, Pedro Medeiros responds with a series of images that, at first glance, seem to approach a documental register, especially if we try to contextualize them in his trajectory as a photographer. (…)
(…) Sharp and with excellent light conditions, in these photos there are no dim places, but, whenever a window appears, the exterior reveals a much more intense luminosity, as if saying the exterior is the reason of existence of such a place. (…)
António Olaio, “O Saber Ocupa Lugar”.
