On my metro journeys between the cities of Porto and Vila do Conde, as I passed through the Varziela Industrial Zone, there was always one detail that caught my eye. Standing out from the gray surrounding the warehouses, in a large logo at the top - the acronym “EMSI” accompanied by asian characters - dominated my vision.
The flow of people from another geography at this precise point raised questions, which at some point evolved into a need to seek answers: who were these people and where did they come from? Was the warehouse the only reason for all these people to stay in this place? What relationship did they have with that particular warehouse?
At the same time as translating the questions and concerns that haunted me, there is an attempt to immerse myself in this reality, in a movement of progressive approximation. The images are intended to demonstrate the attempt to understand the territory, where the doubts that fuel the project are latent, doubts that are not concretely clarified.
