This seminal book is an excursus on the metastization of the urban frontier. Produced in South-East China, Portugal and South Africa the author uses the ‘black hole’ in the landscape as a way to rethink our relationship with the modern de-centred city.
Produced over a period of 12 months with the Portuguese Airport Administration Authorities this book surveys the modern airport. Pictured as the elementary expression of abstract space, in Martins’ images sky and ground collide, overlap and blur.
Produced almost entirely within a 3km radius of the author’s home, and inspired by Salman Rushdie’s critique of the film The Wizard of Oz, The Diminishing Present is a visual contemplation on the concept of home and what it means to belong somewhere.
This seminal book is brings together 5 bodies of work, inspired by both early 18th century evocations of the sublime and contemporary pictorial traditions. But for all its historical evocation, the photographs in this publication are fraught with anxieties about ruin.
