2025



“Terra Vulcão” is the first book by portuguese photographer Miguel Ribeiro. A magical and surreal journey to the rituals and sobrenatural manifestations in the Island of São Tomé e Princípe, where there is
no rigid separation between the world of spirits and the world of the living. Exploring the widespread belief in souls with the power to intervene in the material realm, influencing people’s everyday lives, ‘Terra-Vulcão’ was born out of a reflection on the connection between these two worlds, taking inspiration from the texts and experiences of the late antrophologist Paulo Valverde.

Lebop is proud to release the second printing of Estrada e Fantasmas, by portuguese photographer Humberto Brito. This work is a poetic and delicate hommage to the places of the photographer’s childhood territory, revisited through its barren natural and suburban landscapes.

ARTIST STATEMENT:
I spent my adult life moving away from the landscape of my youth. Around forty,  I saw this was a mode of self-loathing. I was ashamed of this sentiment. There I am again, decades later, magnetized by this common, dysfunctional, unfriendly landscape.  I wanted to embrace its blemishes, as one must learn to accept the blemishes in one’s face, as Wittgenstein once wrote. I see in these images a landscape I am stuck to as a pigeon to is coordinates, and a nondescript physiognomy. They are mirrors and windows, self-portraits in a topographic style.
