JoaÌƒo Almino,Elizabeth Jackson
Isolating these moments in his memory and attempting to analyze them much,like a lens, he envisions â€œa haiku stripped of rhetoric that captures only what is,in front of the camera.â€ 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.,JoÃ£o Almino here gives us a trenchant portrait of an artist trying to close the gap,between objective vision and sentimental memory, leaï¬ng through a catalog of,his accomplishments and failures in a violent, artificial, universal city, and trying,to reassemble the puzzle that was his life.
