Happy to share my encounters with wild Animals in Portugal!

A myth is a story from the time when men and animals had no difference. To live in a shared land with other species with whom we cannot communicate is the most tragic, the most offensive, fault to the human heart and soul. Myths refuse to accept that condition as original. André Príncipe’s Anima...

In La Goulette, in the port of Tunis, also known as 'la petite Sicile' in the 19th century, he goes to a concert by Badiaa Bouhrizi, known by her artistic name Neysatu.

It is with this singer, author and composer, activist for the causes of freedom and social justice, that the photographer and editor talks about politics, music, djinns and African identities.

ANIMA - ENCOUNTERS WITH WILD ANIMALS IN PORTUGAL by André Príncipe

Embossed Hardcover, 18x26cm, 100 pages
Out soon!

A myth is a story from the time when men and animals had no difference. To live in a shared land with other species with whom we cannot communicate is the most tragic, the most offensive, fault to the human heart and soul. Myths refuse to accept that condition as original. André Príncipe’s Anima – Encounters with wild animals in Portugal - is in line with those myths.

Meaningful encounters with animals in our land are now very difficult due to ignorance, cruelty, loss of habitat, utter disrespect, desire for domination and profit. When animals see us, they wisely fly away, run away, or turn their back to us. The photographs in this book are portraits using a normal lens that reproduces our field of vision. They are not about voyeuristically observing animal behavior, but an attempt to encounter animals as our equals.

The images were taken across continental Portugal, the Azores and Madeira, over a period of 20 years. They are the result of a lot of patience, a lot of waiting, a lot of help from those who still know about animals. In Portuguese language, the word for portraits – retratos – means going back. On the land, we can still see traces of times when men and animals, psychedelically, lived together. These traces, statues, drawings found their way to this book. They are a reminder of how things can be.

In school, we were told that the animals that lived in Portugal were domesticated; dogs, cats, chickens, pigs, horses. The wild animals lived in distant lands, or in our zoos. In almost every culture, the names of animals are some of the very first words said by children. And yet, how disappointed and bored they are when you take them to a zoo! Those aren’t the animals as they know them, as they named them.

Only 35 000 years ago, elephants lived in Costa Vicentina, southwest of Portugal. S***m whales, vultures, seals, sharks, chameleons, deer and eagles still do. Children remember what our teachers forgot long ago. This is a children´s book. It aspires to contain the wisdom of children.

The project was quickly abandoned for lack of funding.In Bissau, I photographed the hospital, the slaughterhouse, the streets. Outside the cities, the fanado initiation rites.

We are very happy to announce a new book:
Patrícia by José Pedro Cortes
https://www.pierrevonkleist.com/products/patricia-br-jose-pedro-cortes

Patrícia Mamona is a Portuguese triple jumper and Olympic silver medalist.
In October 2018, two years away from the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, I started visiting Patrícia’s training sessions at Centro de Alto Rendimento do Jamor in Lisbon.
Her lonely and repetitive training routine involves a careful balancing act of the body and mind, juggling determination and ambition with exhaustion and anxiety, often being months away from any competition.
It was a long and complicit process that lasted until September 2021, a month after she won the silver medal at the Tokyo Olympics, setting a new personal and national record of 15.01 meters.
José Pedro Cortes

Patrícia is the portrait of a solitary performer, of the body and mind at work. Throughout the book we feel the experience of the training routine of an Olympic athlete, as we watch, in a parallel montage, a sequence of images of her winning jump at the Tokyo Olympics.

We are very happy to announce our newest book:
:::: On Seeing Mr Tang Leave to Tsinghai by André Príncipe ::::

On Seeing Mr Tang Leave to Tsinghai is Príncipe´s film-like Chinese book. It collects photos done in mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau between 2007 and 2019. A period of big changes in the Middle Kingdom. The sequence in the book is carefully constructed around events experienced by the author in his Chinese adventures. The feeling is as oneiric and ancestral, as it is political and contemporary. It reads like a long poem.

Trapped animals wait disciplined and angry. Their energy and suffering swipes the land, enters human’s soul, maddens people. Life is miserable if you live in an empire. Real estate madness,organised crime. It will end badly. Escape on a taxi. To Manchuria, to Inner Mongolia, to Chengdu, to Tibet. They will be there waiting for you, escape to your mind, to your inner China.

A love letter to old Chung Kuo, the land of Li Bai and Wang Wei.

CASA DE LAVA - CADERNO, 2nd edition, now on pre-sale!

While filming, Pedro Costa met people there who led him to Fontainhas, a now-vanished slum on the outskirts of Lisbon where many Cape Verdean immigrants used to live. Even as it was being torn down, this place became the location and actual subject of Costa’s future projects.

Il y a très longtemps qu’un premier livre ne nous avait pas a cet point impressionné, laissé littéralement sidéré par sa force calme, sa façon d’entrer de plain-pied dans le chaos et de nous emmener dans une autre zone que la nôtre. Philippe Azoury in Les inrocks.
