They show up almost always with an arrival and departure deadline. Sometimes with tight schedules. Often staying for a dozen hours, doing what they do best, and sleeping just a few hours before following their way. The next day they’re in another city. They’re always in transit. Its always all too fast. It becomes all too intense, and all too ungrateful.

Some return past a few months, other past few years. Others don’t. Some make promises of love in social networks, write songs influenced by a certain place and make friends. It becomes all too pretty.

In this confluence of often contradictory feelings, Rui Oliveira proposed to register the passing moment, through the city of Porto, of fifteen artists from different countries: Canada, Brazil, United States, Gambia, France, Lebanon, UK, Australia, Italy, Germany, Iceland, Finland, Netherlands, Spain and of course Portugal. Fifteen pictures of fifteen artists, who came, saw, were seen and left.
