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.
