Photography is the resurrection of the past and the record of a moment that no longer exists. Ruins are not just remains or leftovers. They are stories and memories, written within walls, textures, and surreal landscapes. 

The landscape in these expositions are similar to a war field, and the shrouds of debris become reborn shadows. This particular photography assumes the incisive taxidermy of aesthetic cuts that define the intention and interest of its author. The cut and the detail. The disturbance where the surreal is reborn and screams, yes.

Born in 1949 on Terceira Island, Azores, Orlando Azevedo dedicates himself professionally to documentary photography throughout his travels and expeditions across Portugal, Brazil and beyond. Orlando Azevedo is a photographer, editor and author. His work has been featured in many prestigious institutions including the International Center of Photography in New York, French Museum of Photography in Paris, and the Museum of Art and Modern Art Sao Paulo, to name a few.

There will be a free opening reception held on May 23rd at 5:30pm. Orlando Azevedo will be present at the reception to discuss his photography, as well as his book, Azores. Prints from the Azores series will be available for purchase.
