EMARP showcases wildlife from Botswana and South Africa

Exhibition by Vítor Azevedo will be open until the 6th of December

Vítor Azevedo's photography exhibition “VIDA – Botswana and South Africa Wildlife” can be visited from today, November 4th, until December 6th at the headquarters of EMARP – Municipal Water and Waste Company of Portimão.

The exhibition, which is dedicated to Sean van Wyk, brings together photographs taken in Chobe National Park (10.000 km2), Botswana, and Timbavati Private Reserve (533,92 km2), in South Africa.

These are images “that portray life, survival and the food chain. Death is closely linked to life that becomes a constant and cyclical rebirth», according to EMARP.

 

 

It was this principle that moved Vítor Azevedo to make this set of works and it was «from this mixture of beauty, brutality, sweetness, aggressiveness, survival that the title for this work came about. Because life and death go hand in hand in constant renewal, generating more life».

Vítor Manuel Nascimento de Azevedo worked 41 years in hotel and commercial aviation, which gave him «the opportunity to socialize and contact with many people, traveling the world, photographing, making friends, getting to know other cultures, customs and enjoying the local gastronomy and cooking ours for friends».

«He photographed in several countries where fauna is abundant, such as Costa Rica and Brazil, but it is undoubtedly Africa that attracts him the most and where he most likes to photograph, combining the pleasure and proximity of photography with the power of adrenaline when he is very close and without barriers of large wild animals, respecting my spaces… but close to them. This exhibition tries to show a little of the beauty of the African fauna», concluded EMARP.
