SIN PARO

(Ongoing)

Sin Paro is an ongoing photographic project that observes the presence of elderly individuals in public space through gestures of movement marked by the use of a cane. Initiated in 2017, the work has been developed continuously across different cities in Portugal and Spain, following situations of presence, circulation, and social interaction in the urban environment.

The images presented at this stage correspond to a partial selection from a broader body of research in progress, focused on the relationship between aging, time, and the right to the city. In a contemporary context shaped by acceleration and urban dynamics oriented toward productivity, the project seeks to observe forms of presence that operate outside these logics, asserting slower rhythms and alternative modes of occupying public space.

Situated between a documentary approach and a close attention to gesture and movement, Sin Paro unfolds as an open archive in constant transformation, where each image contributes to an expanded reflection on persistence, coexistence, and belonging within the public realm.
