LOVE LETTERS TO OLHÃO - in a time of pestilence
A sequence of love letters to an unfashionable part of Portugal written before, during and after the Covid-19 pandemic, this little book is a meditation on different aspects of love and different types of pestilence. Like the tiled streets of old Olhão, it is a mosaic, combining photographs, paintings, poems and prose in a tessellation of fragments. Creatively and thematically, it is a collaboration – a vote in favour of we in the epoch of me; a Yes to life in an era of solipsism and despair.
