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

The author wrote that, despite progress, the “war on nature” had not ended, and said pollution, biodiversity loss and climate chaos affected everyone everywhere. They called for more action, speed and determination, asking whether enough was being done.

The author estimated that Félix Tshisekedi was living his last moments in power. He presented several recent events as signs of his isolation: the resumption of diplomatic relations between Belgium and Rwanda, which he referred to as an enemy, the appearance of Joseph Kabila at the head of the politico-military movement FRN without significant condemnation from the international community, and a search conducted by Belgian justice at Tshisekedi's home and that of his close associates. According to the author, the Congolese president had lost his support from Belgium, France, and the United States, while he had no reliable allies in Africa. He criticized those who minimized the significance of these events and argued that Donald Trump had not advanced peace in the DRC despite signing an agreement more than a year ago. Reminding that Bill Richardson had warned Mobutu to leave power or risk being dragged into the street, he urged Tshisekedi to prepare for his departure in order to avoid a repetition of history. #Rdc #Afrique #Politique (translated)

Attention, Vasco fans! It was reported that the President of the Superior Court of Justice (STJ), Minister Luis Felipe Salomão, did not grant, on Thursday (15), the request from Fla-Flu Serviços S.A. to suspend the decision that authorized Vasco x Boca Juniors at Maracanã on October 20 at 9:30 PM for the semifinal of the Copa Sul-Americana. According to the report, Salomão considered that the concessionaire, constituted by Flamengo and Fluminense, did not have the legitimacy to appeal to this legal instrument, as it is a private company and does not act as a delegate of public service. The minister also understood that the choice of the stadium did not constitute a primary public interest that would justify the exceptional request. The publication stated that Fla-Flu Serviços had claimed risks related to the meeting of the fans, the operation of the stadium, the pitch, and the need for a minimum interval of 72 hours between matches. According to the report, Salomão concluded that the company did not prove a serious threat to public order, security, or the economy. He also pointed out that the transfer of the basketball game between Flamengo and Botafogo alleviated some of the concerns. Furthermore, according to Attention, Vasco fans!, the minister considered that potential damage to the pitch would not constitute serious harm to public assets nor justify the suspension. The publication added that he evaluated that the request could not substitute for a judicial appeal and that any questioning regarding the actions of judges from the Court of Justice of Rio de Janeiro should follow the appropriate appeal channels. The decision maintained the authorization for the match at Maracanã without suspension by the STJ. The publication described the outcome as a procedural victory for Vasco but noted that it did not end all possibilities for judicial contestation. It also informed that the decision concerning Safety Suspension No. 3,678/RJ was signed at 12:49 PM on October 15, 2026. #Vasco #BocaJuniors #Maracanã (translated)
