Title: Meio visível
Description: The insightful gaze of P.O. Almeida, in place of an acidic and absorbed criticism of the contemporary world, uses his inspired shattered compositions to comment with irony and a silent laugh the mispaths of humanity. It is a look that notes the world we build from our desires led by consumption without, however, judging it. In parallel to this, his photograph honors his idols that have explored both the world and photographic language. P.O. Almeida's photography updates issues of modernism in the contemporary by building an intricate and humorous labyrinth in which we perceive ourselves always in a hurry and too angry. Photography for him becomes the possibility of dismantling and reassembling the pieces that form the landscape, thus generating the possibility of infinite narrative combinations.
