  • Diogo Alves head preserved in formalin. Since its foundation, the city of Lisbon had problems with the supply of drinking water to the population. In order to solve this problem, in 1731 King John V begins the contruction of the long-touted "Aguas Livres Aqueduct" wich has its construction completed in 1748, from this moment Lisbon would have 3 times more water than previously available.<br />
The aqueduct extends over 14,174 meters and consists of 127 arches along its route. Of all the arches, the most known is the one in the valley of Alcantara, the Arco Grande, is 65 meters high and is the largest pointed arch in the world.<br />
The other reason that made the Aqueduct famous is to have been the stage of nineteenth century's most famous serial killer in Portugal, Diogo Alves. Born in Spain, came to live in Lisbon at a very early age, known as the "Assassino do Aqueduto das Aguas Livres" or also "Pancadas". Diogo Alves is thought to have robbed and thrown from the Arco Grande area more than seventy people. No one ever found out how he got the key to enter the aqueduct and commit the crimes.<br />
Diogo Alves was convicted and hanged in 1841. His head was stored in formalin at the time so that medicine could studie his and be able to characterize the mind of a criminal.<br />
In 1911 is presented to the public the film "Os crimes de Diogo Alves" the first Portuguese fictional film. 15/01/2012 NO SALES IN PORTUGAL

A pose e a presa<br />
<br />
“Arte” ou “acto”, segundo o dicionário, a caça no meu imaginário sempre foi mais fotografia que taxidermia como se a presa fosse apenas um mero acessório da pose do caçador – o verdadeiro troféu. <br />
<br />
Quando decidi documentar o quotidiano dos caçadores portugueses veio-me instantaneamente à memoria o “cliché” do fotógrafo J.A. da Cunha Moraes, captado durante uma caça ao hipopótamo no Rio Zaire, em Angola e publicado em 1882 no álbum Africa Occidental. O grande caçador branco posava, ao centro da fotografia, com a sua espingarda, rodeado pela tribo local.<br />
<br />
Foi com este cliché que cheguei ao Alentejo em busca dos grandes caçadores contemporâneos. Durante meses a fio, de Mora a Mértola, passando por outros concelhos alentejanos, vi veados, javalis, raposas e corças. Fotografei montarias em zonas de caça associativa e em herdades privadas, caçadores ricos e remediados. Caçadores de carne e caçadores de troféu. Fotografei quem vive da caça e quem a vê como um hobby para alguns fins de semana durante o ano. Acompanhei os diversos tempos e momentos de uma caçada, entre a pose e a presa, o vinho e o sangue, o estampido dos tiros e o murmúrio dos campos.<br />
<br />
Logo nos primeiro dias,  durante uma “enxota” ao javali nos campos de milho de Montemor-o-Novo, tive a sorte de cruzar-me com o José António, mais conhecido por Berras, dono da matilha Tempestade de Mora. A personalidade, conhecimentos e experiência deste caçador e do Nelson, o seu ajudante e amigo, levaram-me a segui-los ao longo de várias caçadas. <br />
<br />
Tive sorte, ouvi histórias de caça, da boca de caçadores conscientes mas também da boca daqueles para quem só importa a quantidade. Encontrei uma população envelhecida, essencialmente masculina, onde os jovens são minoria. Uma espécie ameaçada pelo envelhecimento e pela perd

"The Pose and the Prey"<br />
<br />
Hunting in my imagination was always more like taxidermy — as if the prey was just a mere accessory of the hunter's pose for his heroic photograph — the real trophy.<br />
<br />
When I decided to document the daily lives of Portuguese hunters, I had in my memory the "cliché" from the photographer José Augusto da Cunha Moraes, captured during a hippopotamus hunt in the River Zaire, Angola, and published in 1882 in the album Africa Occidental. The white hunter posed at the center of the photograph, with his rifle, surrounded by the local tribe.<br />
<br />
It was with this cliché in mind that I went to Alentejo, south of Portugal, in search of the contemporary hunters. For several months I saw deer, wild boar, foxes. I photographed popular hunting and private hunting estates, wealthy and middle class hunters, meat hunters and trophy hunters. I photographed those who live from hunting and those who see it as a hobby for a few weekends during the year. I followed the different times and moments of a hunt, in between the prey and the pose, wine and blood, the crack of gunfire and the murmur of the fields .<br />
<br />
I was lucky, I heard lots of hunting stories. I found an essentially old male population, where young people are a minority. Hunters, a threatened species by aging and loss of economic power caused by the crisis in the South of Europe.<br />
<br />
The result of this project is this series of contemporary images, distant from the "cliche" of 1882.<br />
