Cepeda moved to Lisbon with his family in 2017, after Porto, after early years in the Netherlands and a youth in Coimbra. This is what came of walking the new city: hesitant at first, then accelerating, in bright daylight, at dusk, in the dark, down side streets that lead either up to the glare of the business district or down into the suction of the sewers. He is not describing Lisbon and he is not surveying it. He pushes against it, rubs at it, tries to pierce its body with the camera. What comes out is a ballad of a city as a system, and of collective existence in it.
