Cape Verde are islands and, as such, seascapes.
The thin, oscillating line that separates the liquid medium from the dry medium, and very dry that is the interior of Cape Verde, is only understandable by living your map. It is walking through its territory to feel its orographic condition, to see its net horizon.
A blue sometimes in the distance, almost in costume, other times very present, imposing itself dramatically. If a border spans two worlds that seem distant, they also fuse them together, making them touch each other in a much larger spectrum.
The photographs were taken from July 24, 2019 to August 2, in the city of Mindelo, São Vicente island and from August 2 to August 14, on the island of Santiago as part of the project EU MSCA-RISE-777998 CONCHA (“The construction of early modern global Cities and oceanic networks in the Atlantic: An approach via Ocean’s Cultural Heritage”).
