The Coastline of Praia Piquinia: Observing Quiet, Stilled Narratives of Humanity »

“Praia Piquinia” is a beautiful set of images by the French photographer Christian Chaize. While vacationing in Portugal, Chaize became engrossed with the landscape and people on a small stretch of coastline in southern Portugal. His fascination with the magical changes that took place from year to year breathed a new sense of inspiration into his personal work.

“Praia Piquinia” spans five years and a total of twenty-seven photographs; seven are presented here. The images were shot in a vertical format, rather than the traditional horizontal landscape style, which Chaize believes created a portrait capturing this ethereal nook in nature over the minutes, days and years.

This piece concludes with a touching music video by Chaize, a video diary of his New York visit for the exhibition of “Praia Piquinia.”
