"The photographs collected by the Portuguese photographer for his photo book 'Common Ground' are unified by a strong, recurring motif in every picture: soccer goals, taken over many years. Away from the soccer business, he documents simple, often improvised goal constructions that were erected in a wide variety of places, even in remote areas, with the desire to play sport together and which reveal a lot about their geographical and social context through their varied design.
The more than 220 photographs are presented in the book serially, but also individually, depending on the motif, mood or context. These are photographs taken on many journeys over the years." (adapted text, © Chromfeld, 2024)
