Uma sequ\u00eancia vibrante de imagens que contrasta velocidade com lentid\u00e3o, t\u00e9dio e repeti\u00e7\u00e3o com perigo e surpresa. Capta verdadeiramente a sensa\u00e7\u00e3o alucinada de andar por a\u00ed a conduzir \u2014 \u00e9 isto que estar na estrada realmente parece hoje.

Following a violent car crash (the blue car on the central pages), Augusto Alves da Silva started an obsessive series related to accidents, and life on the road. A vibrant sequence of images that contrast speed with slowness, boredom and repetition with danger and surprise. It truly captures  the crazy feeling of driving around, this is what being on the road really looks like today.  Published on the occasion of the author\u00b4s exhibition \u201cDead End: an essay on optimism\u201d, at Museu de Arte Contempor\u00e2nea da Funda\u00e7\u00e3o de Serralves, Oporto in 2009 and sponsored by the Minist\u00e9rio da Cultura de Portugal, it is now for the first time available for distribution.
