Photography Exhibition - EXD Biennale 2015 | Tangents
In Transit is an approach to our routines, to the spaces that occupy our daily journeys, the non-places we inhabit in transition. Spaces devoid of identity and social interactions by a mismatch in human relationships. Those faceless directions in the everyday life of a global society, increasingly detached from a sense of roots and belonging, are what the work intends to explore, an account of a world that ceased to live for their inhabitants to dwell in those who live in it.
Understanding photography as an art capable of expressing concepts and making us think about the future, and it's undeniable role as a tool and product of artistic creation, In Transit is an incisive portrait of human interactions, wrapped in a "solitary contractually", moving through areas designed to be public/collective spaces.

Budget and due dates
Although the project is sponsored by EXD Biennale in terms of advertisement and by Cooperativa Árvore in providing the exhibition space from 5 to 31 December, the author is responsible for all the expenses involved in developing this event.
Budget
The goal of this campaign is to raise part of the amount needed for printing and framing the images:
Print - 27 photos 70x47cm and 90x60cm
(Lambda Print, photographic paper, metallic finish and/or matte)
Framing - PVC 5mm
Wall mounting - Aluminium profile
Deadlines
From the 27 photos of the series, 7 are still being edited and will be available soon.
In order to extend the crowd funding for as long as possible we've managed to ensure a payment method with the printer shop that agreed to let us pay for the work by the end of the exhibition.
