Portugal in Flash

Portugal em Flash revisits (modestly) the photograph “Portugal” (1987) by Gérard Castello-Lopes. This photograph of the stone (as it became known) is open to multiple analyses and densified by the chosen title. It was presented in the exhibition “Uma Fotografia” (1989, Ether/Vale tudo não estar de noite), which was unusually composed of just this single-photograph.​
