Azulejos, city and the time

  • Flora Luna

I have always been attracted by cities urbanism. But there was a book that changed my perception of time and places, it teached me to find the true nature of a city. That book is "Invisible Cities", thanks Italo Calvino. Azulejos is the city of Faro, in Portugal, were tine seems frozen in the 30s and you can constantly feel how old and precious the architectures are. This tiled facade,originally used in the XV century and then remodeled and used locally in 1915, shine upon the city. I decided to frame them through a classical Portuguese window frame, to enhance the relationship between photography and the city.
