6_msr_08_ Fotografia* : Remodelação/Ampliação do Museu de São Roque

Catalogue of author photographs taken by a collective of five photographers, members of Equivalentes - cultural association, non-profit entity, created in 2006 with the aim of promoting and disseminating photography and photographic culture - who documented and interpreted the process of remodeling and expansion of the Museum of São Roque da Santa Casa da Misericórdia de Lisboa. This publication, a bilingual edition in Portuguese and English, is structured in six parts: leaving, beginning, building, restoring, finishing and populating. Verbs that translate different moments of the São Roque Museum's requalification process, from the removal of works of art to their replacement, images captured between 2006 and 2008. In the introductory text to this publication, the director of the São Roque Museum, Teresa Morna argues that “the participation of the Equivalents team thus provides a different and innovative look at this artistic heritage of unique value, awakening in the observer, in addition to immediate observation, an encounter with the interior of the image, where beauty meets discovers and reinvents itself”.
