Isolating these moments in his memory and attempting to analyze
them much like a lens, he envisions "a haiku stripped of rhetoric
that captures only what is in front of the camera." Yet, deprived
of his sight, the photographer now must reconstruct his experiences
as a series of affective snapshots, a diary of his emotions as they
were frozen on this or that day. The result, then, is not the
description of a remembered image, but of the emotional memory the
image evokes. Joao Almino here gives us a trenchant portrait of an
artist trying to close the gap between objective vision and
sentimental memory, leafing through a catalog of his
accomplishments and failures in a violent, artificial, universal
city, and trying to reassemble the puzzle that was his life.
