Discovering the fascinating city of Tomar
VIRTUAL EXHIBITION
The Poetry of

Exhibition
Walking with Fernando Pessoa.
Psychogeographical experience
in Tomar, Portugal.
The Poetry of the Cityscape was exhibited in 2020 at the Maria de Lourdes Gallery in Mello e Castro da Escola Jácome Ratton in Tomar on the occasion of the Cultural Week that was celebrated between 21st February and 28th February and was part of the National Plan for the Arts developed by the governmental fields of Culture and Education in Portugal. The exhibition was organised by the Center for Photography Studies (CEFT - Casa dos Cubos) and Templar School Group.
Planned to be open to the public until the end of April the exhibition was very well received and appreciated, so the organiser decided to extend the period until mid-December. I was very pleased with the extension because my work was exhibited for almost 10 months. After closing, I transferred this exhibition to a virtual space. The virtual environment was created with seven walls, each of them presenting a poem by Fernando Pessoa correlated with images of the urban landscape or small details of Tomar. The images represent the emotions of my discoveries in the city and complement the verses. You can visit the exhibition using the guided tour by pressing the play button or you can start visiting the exhibition at your will.
