Objetos Entre Nós
Director of Photography
In what way does contemporaneity look at objectuality, the world of objects and their relations to human beings? Objects are among us, we’re connected to them, they talk; we create them, but we’re also created by them; they affect us, they inhabit our imaginary, they are part of our memory, together with us they create our community. José Bragança de Miranda convenes a peculiar set of objects to this reflexion.
