PEDRO GUIMARÃES - RATO TESOURA PISTOLA

2021, XYZ Books

Combining the drawings of his children together with portraits of them playfully or simply relating with the father’s camera, this photobook is a manifold of experiences and artistic attitudes in which photography works as an intertwining element and where design strategies activate it as a device involving the reader himself in the game. As the title of the book suggests, “Mouse, scissors, gun”, and Pedro explains in the book presentation: “This is how we play together, how we pretend there is no such thing as the vast emptiness that keeps us apart during most days of our lives: 2500 km of land and water, to be precise, the sheer vastness of Europe. But most days is not all days of our lives, right?”.
