CIDADE EM MOVIMENTO

This is the first artist’s book by Delio Jasse. His cyanotype photos offer a vibrant portrait of his home town, the restless city of Luanda.

“Luanda is an exercise of memory. Being away for a long time has created different images of this metropolis in my mind.
The images of a remembered Luanda and the new images of the city are standing in front of my eyes and my camera.
It’s crowded, chaotic, surfaces and spaces merge together.
Post-colonial history overlaps with the past and with a new and fast history of progress.
These layers really interest me, not just as physical entities but also as memories and visions.” (Delio Jasse)
