PRICE OF THE WORLD, 2020
C-print on 300 mg. Hannemühle paper, Ed.2/3 +1 PA, 18,89 x 24,2 cm
Saturday dawn, Avenida 25 de Abril, Porto.
This is the current location of the Feira da Vandoma, the traditional flea market that is held weekly on the sidewalks of a main access to the city.
Any other Saturday this would be a crowded spot, but today it is not because of the pandemic restrictions.
In the spaces assigned by local authorities to spontaneous and unlicensed sellers, I aligned a series of improvised price tags that vendors have written down on pieces of cardboard and paper.
I have collected them for years from other street markets similar to this one, where they are usually left behind once the flea market is over and the merchants pack their stock and leave.
