The genesis of the project dates from 2011, when Patrícia Almeida began collecting pictures and headlines from European and North American newspapers. She aimed at composing a visual archive that would reflect a media landscape marked by a series of large-scale demonstrations that shook the world, particularly in the wake of the Arab Spring and of the heightened economic and political crisis affecting some European countries. The archive gradually became a dynamic object that inspired several works analysing and questioning the way contemporary media communicate information in pictures and words.
