News Summary

• Matilde Viegas: Dia de Feira (Fair Day) is a series that honours the bustling bodies and clashing senses of the local market.
• Matilde began attending the market regularly, heading along with her family and her partner Mafalda Salgueiro, who was filming to create a short that would accompany the photo series.
• These portraits of sellers and market frequenters are paired with shots of tables laden with denim of all description, nuts, eggs and moments of contrast.
• Curated by Magda Pinto, the images “took on a life of their own” and ended up on three-metre-high tarps, trailing the walls of the building.
