RE-VISIONS
Carlos Lobo, Paulo Catrica, Sebastiano Raimondo
25 JAN – 24 MAR 2025
The exhibition Re-Visions, by Carlos Lobo, assistant professor at School of Arts, Paulo Catrica, guest professor at School of Arts, and Sebastiano Raimondo, opened on January 25 at the NO-NO Gallery in Lisbon.
According to Humberto Brito, “(...) The sets of images on display here are organized around a way of thinking about photography that disconcerts its traditional definitions. We are used to describing it as an art of vision. However, each of these sets of images exemplifies a reflection on photography as a practice of re-vision. Nothing new under the sun, as Ghirri insisted, what the photographer sees is always already, in each of these examples, something that returns, a recognition, a ghost, a vague memory, a familiar tone. (...) ”
The exhibition can be visited until March 24, 2025, from Tuesday to Saturday, from 14:00 to 19:00.
The works included in the exhibition can be consulted on the Gallery's website.
