Stasis, Oct 7 – Nov 11, 2006



Press ReleasePortuguêsEspañol


Pedro Cera Gallery is pleased to announce the solo exhibition Stasis by André Cepeda.

Focused on the world of the image, he uses photography as a medium for representing a reality that is in many cases recognizable in daily life. In the gallery André Cepeda is presenting three photographs entitled ‘Stasis’, in an antithesis to the previous series ‘Moving’ , in which the perception of movement was represented in the form of landscapes of transition, such as motorways or simply their central separating barriers. In this exhibition Cepeda shows those images in which the static character harks back to an apparent state of gravitation, in which time is suspended and the actions are frozen. Cepeda redefines what surrounds him, often trying to dignify spaces. Images of different readings are treated in an aseptic manner, and are refined of preconceived connotations.

André Cepeda has devoted himself to the world of photography since the early eighties, when he started to collaborate in the Coimbra Photography Encounters, and after finishing his course in photography at the École des Arts d’Ixelles de Bruxelles, he holds his first solo exhibition in the year 2000. He has been carrying out different projects over recent years, both in Portugal and abroad.
