Publisher's Description
António Júlio Duarte has been photographing Casino’s lobbies in Macau for the last 10 years.
Shot at night, with a medium format camera and a flash, often in jetlagged mode, the lobbies became Duarte’s personal territory.
The absurd luxury of the places combined with the strangeness of the objects, and the absence of human presence, creates a strong dreamlike feeling.
We are led through a labyrinth, as if floating. The work is, both an important document about the little seen reality of Casino’s in Macau today,
and a very personal reflection about East and West, about how to relate to the world through photography.
