“Under the surveillance of ancient animals” is a photography project in analog of 35mm I that developed during a year in a small village in northern Portugal, the place where I was born. This project works as little annotations of my return to this place and all the memories that I had of my experiences there. I was looking for paths, people and landscapes that are stowed in the past. This is a personal and umbilical project, a slow project that extends in time. I wanted to photograph the people, animals and objects that deeply belong to that place, to earth, as a primordial and eternal connection, and also the solitude, the silence, the force of nature.
