Mae & Pai - Mother & Father



Untitled - Series Mae & Pai
Eduardo Cordeiro 




Yesterday, I was browsing my old, very old photographs and I found this image taken in 2006 of my father's body. Following that discovery, I found many more photographs taken on that day. I thought that the only photographs from that series (Mae & Pai) were the only ones that I previously had taken until now, or perhaps this photograph wasn't selected from the contact sheets made on that moment…I honestly don't know, don't really remember. But now, I find amazing on how beautiful this photo is in its form, shape, texture and aesthetically abstraction. 
I found 10 more photographs and I rapidly edited them and added to my other ones.

These series of photographs are an ongoing project that I commenced in 2006 and since then I continue to explore this concept of body and its relation with our family.

Still more to come…

No Child Can Escape Their Genetic Heritage, is an exploration of father and son, through body language and subtle gesture. With this photographic project i intended to speak through limbs and trunk, without use of faces - a captivating portrait of attachment and detachment through family lines.
