ABOUT THIS WORK
Saudade is a Portuguese word that has no exact equivalent in any other language. It’s a sense of yearning that can never be fulfilled, as for a lost loved one, or a missed opportunity viewed with regret. It is a palpable sense of absence that seems to have its own kind of presence. Saudade is a bittersweet feeling - a profound sense of nostalgia rather than despair.
"My father passed away when I was 15 years old. Before he died he wanted to emigrate to Portugal to write a novel. He never got there to fulfill his wish. Many years later I went to Portugal to photograph the story that has never been written."
ABOUT THE PHOTOGRAPHER
Nanouk Prins is an Amsterdam based photographer. In 2021 she graduated with honors at the Photo Academy in Amsterdam, with the photobook Empty Forest.
Prins is a photographer whose work aims to pinpoint the fulcrum between opposites: present and past, reality and illusion. It conveys a longing between what is and what could be, or what has been. She uses light, presence of shadows, absence of wind and long shutter speeds to draw viewers into another world. A world where time seems to have stopped. A world that doesn’t belong to anyone.
