A flash in the dark
Carmen’s gaze is drawn to the liminal spaces between worlds, where minds, lives, realities, and all manner of human and natural forces meet, collide and intersect: the urban and the rural; the industrial and the natural; the real and the ideal.
Reflecting unwavering curiosity and sensitivity, her work is an invitation to look past what we think we see, and think beyond what we think we know.
Her most recent projects include IN LIMBO (2022) and METAMORṖHÓSIS (2024), a companion book to the eponymous documentary by António Luís Moreira.
You can find her on Instagram.
Mountains, hills, and schist
In the heart of Portugal, only a few miles east of the venerable city Coimbra, the mountains of Lousã are a treasure trove of natural and cultural riches. Once neglected, places like the Schist Villages are now recapturing the attention of domestic and foreign visitors.
Beyond the sea
There is more to Portugal than beaches, churches and wine. Venture beyond the postcards and discover a greener country than you might have expected.
“It’s a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don’t keep your feet, there’s no knowing where you might be swept off to.”
