PAULO CATRICA - UNKNOWNED TEXT
Frits Gierstberg

"Catrica avoids any romanticism or nostalgia. He is not so much interested in the city as a metaphor for modern life, as the hectic place that is full of energy, violence and movement, where extremes between good and bad, rich and poor, high and low meet. Catrica's city is first and foremost a physical structure with a life of its own, with a surface full of traces, with texture, form and rhythm." Excerpt
