Jose Pedro Cortes “Jose Pedro Cortes”

Gallery Out of Place

This event has ended.

A photography exhibition of one of Portugal’s up-and-coming photographers, Jose Pedro Cortes. Recently, Cortes has been represented as part of the bearers of a new generation of European photography. Originally active within Portugal, Cortes has now expanded his work towards Europe.
For this exhibition, Jose Pedro Cortes presents his series, “Costa,” shots of the vast shore of Lisbon’s southern coast. Inside the bright sunlight of the west Mediterranean Sea pouring into these beautiful prints, there is somehow a mood of ennui and degeneration.
Cortes was also selected by the EU-Japan Fest four years ago, for a photography residence in Toyama Prefecture. He stays determined to photograph “Toyama” seen from the European photographer’s eye. This has won Cortes many fans here in Japan. On sale are photographic prints, with the addition of four different photo-books by Cortes.
