Commissioned by the Industrial Association of Porto, the Monument to the Entrepreneur was inaugurated in 1992, by the liberal and conservative Aníbal Cavaco Silva, then Prime Minister.

The pictures were taken between 2014 and 2015, as Portugal was coming out of Troika’s supervision (IMF, ECB, and EU), yet still under the effects of the austerity measures.

The text “Why revolution is no longer possible”, by Byung -Chul Han, is contemporary with the pictures.
