Power Grids
Daniel Malhão
A commission from REN and the photographer Daniel Malhão, Power Networks is a photographic essay on Portugal’s energy infrastructure. The book consists in an array of visual microstories, where generation, transformation and location highlight the travelling nature of electricity.
In spite of the instant nature of energy, Power Networks is a slow-paced book: its large format, sparse spreads and contemplative pauses – along with the single weight and size textual support contents – contribute to a careful pacing. Engineering and ingenuity slowly reveal themselves as the protagonist, as a mark imprinted in the monumentality of the machinery and infrastructure.
