The Fold(s) is a curatorial project composed of four books operating as four individual exhibitions. Under the artistic direction of Luísa Santos, The Fold(s) was developed in the context of the Seminar in Curatorship by the MA and PhD students in Culture Studies of the Lisbon Consortium, Faculty of Human Sciences, Universidade Católica Portuguesa.
The books were designed by Raquel Guerreiro.The object of interest of this essay is located in a space barely visible to the inattentive eye: the city’s surfaces with their wrinkles, inscriptions, and torn posters. During the process of observing and photographically documenting surfaces in multiple cities, the city’s surface presented itself as a vivid organ, which I refer to as the "urban skin".
