Support the production of the book that materializes the digital journey of "Lonesome Traveler Project".

During the "state of emergency" period due to covid-19, I decided to travel from my home in Lisbon to Vik, Iceland. During confinement? But how?

This trip was driven by a conversation with my girlfriend, at the end of our 10th day of confinement, in which I jokingly regretted not being able to go to Vik due to the circumstances we were in. The answer disarmed me: this inevitability could be overcome by traveling through Google Street View.

Thus, a click- by- click journey began through the streets captured by Google , over 45 days, without even leaving home. Not only did I travel, but I photographed that trip, which was my main motivation for getting on the road.

The result was “Lonesome Traveler Project” , presented in this book that not only materializes the “logbook” that was published on the project's Instagram during the trip, but adds other images and puts them in dialogue creating new readings in this format idealized for the project since its beginning.

To the photographic body of the project, the texts of Luís Mendonça and João Pedro Cachopo are added with their readings on this work that open new perspectives for the reader.

The book has 372 pages, in black and white and soft cover (paperback) with dimensions of 13x20cm.

What I propose to you is to support the production of the book.
How? Making a kind of pre-ordering at a special price and once the book is ready, you will receive it at home, or if you prefer, simply support with the amount you want to give.

The book is now ready to be printed, just waiting for your interest to travel to your homes.
