Mise en image, Studium and Punctum, series titled after Barthes’ concepts, uphold the central place of photography and text in Vasco Araújo’s practice. In the first group of dypthics the artist aims at the passage of time as it is corroborated by the private archive of small photographs taken at a photomaton, as by the images of a studio/atelier where the physical presence of someone is apparent by the ordering of actions and chronological time given by the texts.
