IT WAS LIKE THIS IN THE OLD DAYS
Creation of the temporary exhibition for the Azambuja Municipal Museum. Three panels/walls in a homage to a local important personality: the poet and musician Sebastião Mateus Arenque.
The exhibition is a trip to the past, collecting texts, audio and images from Sebastião Mateus Arenque's life, as from the time in witch he lived. The text is treated with inspiration from the old typographic posters of the time. To create a clear hierarchy of the visual contents, big image blow-ups are juxtaposed with a footer of continuous old photos from the rural life that transport the visitors to another time.
