Artist Book, part of the exhibition Merci held at Sismógrafo in December 2014, includes a text by Óscar Faria and a photography essay with the participation of Mariana Amorim. The publication was designed by Thierry Simões and Maria João Macedo, with a handmade indian ink inscription made by the author with a pigeon feather, which was then inserted in the volume.
