A vertente conceptual do meu arquivo fotográfico estrutura-se em três categorias: séries, ensaios, projectos. As séries são os conjuntos mais abrangentes, a partir dos quais podem nascer ensaios e projectos. O meu mais recente livro, "Ainda Há Luz nas Janelas", que será apresentado no próximo dia 5 de Novembro, nasce precisamente de uma série intitulada "Retrato de Portugal — Quantos Retratos São Precisos para Fazer um Retrato?". A imagem que aqui apresento integra outra série, a que chamo "Fotopinturas". O título é deliberadamente mordaz e remete para uma questão antiga: a tendência para avaliar a fotografia segundo critérios que pertencem à pintura. Em 1859, Charles Baudelaire, no seu texto "O Público Moderno e a Fotografia", criticou a crescente valorização da fotografia enquanto instrumento de reprodução fiel da realidade, defendendo a autonomia da criação artística e a distinção entre as diferentes linguagens. Não se trata de lhe atribuir a expressão «fotopinturas», mas de reconhecer na sua crítica uma questão que permanece actual. Passou mais de um século e meio e, apesar de toda a evolução técnica e conceptual da fotografia, continuamos a cometer o mesmo erro: julgar uma imagem fotográfica pela sua aproximação à pintura, como se a fotografia precisasse de imitar outra linguagem para justificar a sua existência. A fotografia tem os seus próprios referentes, a sua própria história e as suas próprias possibilidades expressivas. Quando a avaliamos exclusivamente à luz de critérios alheios à sua natureza, não estamos a aprofundar a compreensão da fotografia. Estamos apenas a limitar aquilo que somos capazes de reconhecer nela.. #RuiCamposFotografia #Fotopinturas #Fotografia #LinguagemFotográfica #PensamentoFotográfico #EstéticaFotográfica #HistóriaDaFotografia #CharlesBaudelaire #FotografiaContemporânea #FotografiaDeAutor #ImagemFotográfica #TeoriaDaFotografia #FotografiaComoLinguagem #ArteEFotografia

Arthur Machado stated that if Lula lost the elections on the 25th, sectors of the right that defined themselves by anti-PT sentiment could be left without a central opponent, since, according to him, they had not built an alternative project for the country. Machado criticized a portion of the liberal right, which, in his view, repeated slogans without presenting proposals to attract investments, modernize laws, or promote coexistence with divergent views. He also mentioned that the PT could fragment and compete for space among leaders after Lula. As an example, he cited European sectors that, according to him, reorganized their political identity around fighting other groups, including the radical right. Machado stated that without a consistent national project, former opponents of the PT could start targeting Eduardo Bolsonaro and other movements in search of new adversaries. The author also said that the criticisms of the "5th element" came from groups without a project or knowledge about Brazil and claimed that political groups that treated law as a tool for control, rather than as a guarantee of rights and freedoms, were technocratic and promoted a Chinese governance model. He concluded that the problem for these sectors would be discovering that they never had a project to replace Lula as an opponent. #PolíticaBrasil #Antipetismo #Lula (translated)

IaraGB questioned the charges made against Flávio even before he took office and said that perfection was already being demanded of him. She stated that the situation resembled that of Bolsonaro and accused the right of ignoring four decades of the system's operation, noting that only recently had a strong bloc formed in the Legislative, with members who often still did not know how to act. The author advocated for understanding, said that Flávio would inherit a country in crisis to fix, and stated that the confrontation had already begun. She also suggested that those demanding perfection should run in the next election to feel what it was like to face a dangerous scheme. #Política #Eleições #Compreensão (translated)

He asked for patience and understanding and said he was doing his best, at his physical limit. #Deputado #Campanha #Lula (translated)
