| Title: A Necessary Realism |
| By (author): José Cortes |
| ISBN10-13: 9727765254 : 9789727765256 |
| In A Necessary Realism, José Pedro Cortes renews his way of looking at the matter and surface of the world. Through a set of photographs taken between 2005 and 2018, Cortes looks at the representation of the body in this complex and vulnerable time. In contrast with neoliberal realism, his images affirm the necessity of not allowing ourselves to be subordinated to pragmatic vision of life, because reality is not mechanic, linear or numerical, but a challenge that demands daily attention and reflection. Throughout the book we come across men and women who look at us, others who sensually caress each other in bed, or we observe a group of friends languidly relaxing on the lawn, on a summerâ s afternoon. There arenâ t any geographies or time scales, and, as observers of José Pedro Cortesâ photographs, we are voluntarily invited to make fast, slow, intense movements, which go in and out, attempting to find life, but also the skeleton, ruin and remains that time leaves in its wake. |

| Title: Costa |
| ISBN10-13: 9899776343 : 9789899776340 |
| 14 kms south from Lisboa, where I live, is Costa da Caparica. During the last years I often found myself returning to this magnetic place. José Pedro Cortes Costa da Caparica is a place, south of Lisboa - a strip of land that exists between the last stretch of civilization and the beach. In COSTA, we wander through this territory: shacks, outmoded architecture, remains of houses, dirt left by the tide; an agglomeration of sand, vegetation and streets â a peripheral, end-of-the-line location. We are flooded by a strange luminosity; a dazzling and mysterious light which imbues these spaces with a disconcerting and unreal atmosphere, like something seen while in a hypnotic state, encouraging the spectator to participate in a suggestive and paradoxical exploration of individual experience. |

| Title: Non-Fiction |
| By (author): André PrÃncipe |
| ISBN10-13: 9899944599 : 9789899944596 |
| Once upon a time, I, Chuang-Tzu, dreamt I was a butterfly, fluttering hither and thither, to all intents and purposes a butterfly. I was conscious only of my happiness as a butterfly, unaware that I was Tzu. Soon I awaked, and there I was, veritably myself again. Now I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly, dreaming I am a man. Between a man and a butterfly there is necessarily a distinction. The transition is called the transformation of material things. Chuang-Tzu In the middle of the sea, somewhere between Manhattan and Staten Island, a man follows me. André PrÃncipe, in Non-Fiction Published on the occasion of PrÃncipe´s major exhibition to date, in Centro Cultural Vila Flor (Guimarães, Portugal), Non-Fiction is a heartfelt reflection on how to use photography. The book combines photographs with entries of a dream diary done in the last twenty years. Together with many new images, we revisit PrÃncipe´s adventure photos from different series, and we learn more about them, where and when they were made, how do they relate to each other. Non-fiction is what you experience with your eyes open, what you eyewitness. It is historically or empirically factual. Non-fiction is PrÃncipe´s photography. Fiction is what you see with your eyes closed, your dreams, what you imagine. In the book, the photos and text interact in mysterious, humorous, significant ways. Non-fiction becomes so close to fiction that it can be only defined by its negative, like a human is a non-monkey, or a man, a non-woman. Things are transitional. Half of the poetry of life would be gone, if we did not feel that life was either a dream or a stage in which the actors seldom realised that they were playing their parts. It´s about what we call reality. |

| Title: Rien |
| ISBN10-13: 9899776300 : 9789899776302 |
| Dark alleys, blocks of cement, tired naked bodies, strings that lead to nowhere, abandoned tubes. Rien, the new André Cepeda book, is an immersive experience. Page after page we are led into a void where all things seem to have lost their name, creating a restless and suspended time. More than looking at physical spaces, we feel as if in an endless present tense. There is Emptiness, but a desired one. Cepeda makes the beautiful more white than black large format photographs look spontaneous and free. A book about the process of photographing, about film. A desire to touch and enlighten all things around us. |

| Title: Rua Stan Getz |
| ISBN10-13: 9899776386 : 9789899776388 |
| In 2012 André Cepeda spent three intense months in São Paulo, exploring and photographing the city while reevaluating the very nature of his practice. The thrill of discovering a new territory, the endless photographic possibilities and the buzz of the city in contrast with Cepeda's distinctive silent style, reveals the author's work in a completely new light. The result is a warm, colorful labyrinth of this megacity - its places, streets, architecture and people. Cepeda's managed to create his own São Paulo. Rua Stan Getz reads like a sensual dream that feels real. |

| Title: Smell Of Tiger Precedes Tiger |
| ISBN10-13: 9899776319 : 9789899776319 |
| Smell of tiger precedes tiger' is an existentialist travelogue. André PrÃncipe travelled from Lisbon to Tokyo by land and by sea, with a desire to escape, to go places far away. The initial feelings of uneasiness and alienation fade as empty bars and hotel rooms give place to windows of trains and the vastness of the desert, and return as we approach the Asian big cities. The strongly cinematic sequence was designed to be read from right to left as well as from left to right, expressing the circular aspect of the journey. 'I was already far away, in a city, and wanted to go to the mountains. Asking around, I came up with a phone number. I told him where I wanted to go and where I came from, and in his very poor English, he managed to tell me that he'd never seen a Portuguese, even though his grandfather had been half-Portuguese. He also told me it would be okay to go with him. We were quiet most of the time, walking through the forests. "Eat, sleep now, stop," he would say, and then he would smile. It was difficult for him to understand my question, but when he finally understood, he said, "Smell of tiger precedes tiger. " I was astounded at his sudden mastery of English. He said nothing more. For the next hours we walked in silence. Our footsteps echoing through the forest. ' --- André PrÃncipe, from the Lisbon/Tokyo notebooks |

| Title: White Noise |
| ISBN10-13: 9729982570 : 9789729982576 |
| António Júlio Duarte has been photographing casino's lobbies in Macau for the last 10 years. Shot at night, with a medium format camera and a flash, often in jetlagged mode, the lobbies became Duarteâ s personal territory. The absurd luxury of the places combined with the strangeness of the objects, and the absence of human presence, creates a strong dreamlike feeling. We are led through a labyrinth, as if floating. Thia work is both an important document about the little seen reality of Casinoâ s in Macau today, and a very personal reflection about East and West, about how to relate to the world through photography. |
