Abstract
"Livros de Fotografia em Portugal: Da Revolução ao Presente" proposes to immerse the reader in the fertile history of the Portuguese photography book from the 1970s onwards. It chooses the photobook as an object of study as it is a vehicle for artistic and documentary creation, and point of convergence for collaboration between photographers, designers, writers and publishers. Divided into seven thematic chapters, it analyzes the production of books during the Revolution, the relationship between photographic image and text, the archival and institutional dimension of the photography book, the material and performative qualities of this editorial and artistic practice, as well as the idea of territory and identity. Offering a comprehensive contextualization of the selected books, it encompasses historical, political, artistic and social aspects, with the aim of contributing to an innovative reading of the history of photography in Portugal.
