Jan Windszus – Lisbon
“Cheira bem, cheira a Lisboa ...” Amália Rodrigues
“Not to have seen Lisbon is not to have witnessed beauty” - an oft-voiced sentiment in the Portugese capital. Which other city’s destiny is as Lisbon’s so intimately coupled with the sea, which moulds its every quarter, nook and cranny, as it does the city’s people. The new mare
picture book is replete with uniquely impressive and, simultaneously, precise descriptions of this extraordinary metropolis on the ocean shore. They stem from the camera of the young and exceptionally talented Berlin photographer Jan Windszus, who roamed the city for months, learning how to express his love for Lisbon in the idiom of its inhabitants: calmly, in muted wonder at the mystique of this city.
