The book reproduces most of the photographic series made between 1973 and 1978 that escaped my wanderings around several countries, a divorce and a revolution. It is a sort of a catalogue raisonné. Although relatively small in quantity this body of work is significant given the moment when it was made. The first series, done in Holland (before 74), reflect the concept of critique of everyday life, while some of the series made in Portugal after the revolution are quite political. Anyway, they are all within the same frame of reference and theoretical influence of the Situationist International. Most of these works has never been shown.
