Ana Viana


I was born in northern Portugal and I take 
photos, mostly on film.


Sometimes based in Porto, but often in Kuala
Lumpur or elsewhere. 🌐

Viento, agua, piedra

“El agua horada la piedra,
el viento dispersa el agua,
la piedra detiene al viento.
Agua, viento, piedra.

El viento esculpe la piedra,
la piedra es copa del agua,
el agua escapa y es viento.
Piedra, viento, agua.

El viento en sus giros canta,
el agua al andar murmura,
la piedra inmóvil se calla.
Viento, agua, piedra.

Uno es otro y es ninguno:
entre sus nombres vacíos
pasan y se desvanecen
agua, piedra, viento.”

Octavio Paz

Landscape

I’ve always been fascinated with lines. Borders of all kinds. Things that separate and bring together at the same time. Stones, rocks, unending lines. Light and shadow. Close and far. The vastness of the landscape and its fragments - details, vestiges of endless stories.

“Everyone who lives outside his context is always a bit of a ghost, because I am here, but at the same time I remember a person who walked those streets, who is there, and that same person is me. So sometimes I don’t really know if I am here or there. And at times the longing to be there is greater than the necessity of being here.”

Reinaldo Arenas
