For the Flashback exhibition, comemorating the 25th aniversary of the art school where I studied
photography in, I composed this image from 5 diferent layers:
Layer 1- Dog
Layer 2- Monorail
Layer 3- Hotel
Layer 4- Mount Fuji
Layer 5- a 3D plane
Few people can survive as contemporary artists in Portugal. Lots of artists work “like dogs” (we use
this expression) without any good results. Some of them have to escape (”fugir” in portuguese), emigrating.
