Figo-new-generation pictures a new changing generation of farm work and workers. The key to sustainable agriculture is certainly based on tradition - what has gone before - and on compatible innovation that takes a farming system to another level. · Miguel Proenca ·mp

Sinigaglia Fair serves as stage to a crowd from all over in search for the object of chance, of desire. Surely Breton’s Cendrier Cendrillon is here, hiding somewhere. · Miguel Proenca · mp

Alqueva - changing scape pictures the accelerated economic development pressures on people and on the environment, however carefully implemented. A political option for water reserves and industrial farming has led the Alqueva region into an incredible changing scape. Originally populated by local people practising traditional sustainable farming, conserving water and soils, with traditional olive, grape and oak species, the clearing of the reservoir basin and the filling of the dam has culled this sustainability; rising land and water costs have opened this environment to unsustainable pressure where large scale intensive high tech farming is becoming the norm. Tectonic ancestral environmental existence in this portrait. ·mp

Miguel Proença • Medusa pictures a a fictional ever-changing journey, based on documentary photography work anchored on the unanchorable lightness of … a jellyfish, a fiction · Miguel Proenca ·mp

Miguel Proença · Estranged Trees questions our colonising relationship with nature and environment, where, to simplify natural complexity, orderly patterns are printed on landscape, a confluence towards a global landscape type, thus becoming a non-landscape, or a non-place. The interested observer is left to find a path through this “estranged” forest. ·mp
