I accompanied actress Ana Moreira on her quiet afternoon at “Faculdade de Belas Artes da Universidade do Porto”. I shall draw here about the continuous transitions from her home to the university’s cafeteria, to library, back to cafeteria, in the yard, to seminar room, again to cafeteria, again to seminar room and finally back home.

Partner in this reportage: Ana Moreira- actress, visual artist

Being able to tell the passing of time, by noticing minute changes on people’s faces:

 

 

 

 

 

Someone’s apple, lingering on:

 

Ana- a moment of being fully interiorized:
