ATLAS OBSCURO
DARK ATLAS
Atlas Obscuro / Dark Atlas is a book created in collaboration with Tomás Gouveia. We have created a bilingual author's edition of 200 copies.
It is an object that is both an exhibition catalog and a compilation of my work, thoughts and research from the last years.
Produced at Louresgráfica, a laboratory where we resorted to industrial printing processes as a way of achieving maximum control over the final result. The book was printed under the supervision of Luís Morais, a master printer with over thirty years of experience.
"I have already lost, Kingdom after Kingdom, province after province, the most beautiful half of the universe, and soon I won't know of any place where I can find a refuge for my dreams". - Gérard de Nerval, 1843
"His search was always more than a literary one, for he was guided by an acute, personal sorrow. Throughout his life he was haunted by an absence". - Norman Glass on Gérard de Nerval. Preface for 'Voyage to the Orient', 1851
