Published on the occasion of the exhibition with the same name by André Cepeda in Museu Nacional de Arte Contemporanea – Museu do Chiado, in Lisbon from May 7th to September 26th of 2016, Depois is Cepeda´s third book in PVK editions.
This book / catalog gathers a series of recent photographs by André Cepeda, taken in Porto the city where the artist lives and a recurrent topic of his work.
The collection of images suggests a physical – and mental – journey through various sites in a city where human presence is residual. Nothing appears to happen in these places.
During this journey, André Cepeda photographs a wide range of subjects, including deserted streets, the facades of buildings, rudimentary constructions, monuments, ruins, and abandoned materials and objects in settings permeated by melancholy and a sense of emptiness. It is a view that is harsh and sensitive, meditative and critical, which reacts to space, matter, and light, bestowing certain places and objects with a character that is at once familiar and strange, banal and mysterious. Nothing appears to happen in these places.
Depois is a work about what remains, but also about our desires and about what we are prepared to see in and make of the images.
