    THE SIGH OF THE TRAINS project

    ​

    'The sighs of the trains' is still today, in different colors and murmurs, the sigh of people from Angola, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique and Sao Tome and Principe.

    It illustrates a hope that, despite being unbeliever, believes; a desire for a future and progress and a simultaneous nostalgia for the past; the unrolled time and the movement that, even fast, does not advance.

    'Subtracted' is the part of the series which is dedicated to Angola.

    ​

    «(…)“We were always near here, no more than a few yards away.”

    Everything had happened in the vicinity of the bus. It was the country which was parading past like a sleepwalker. (...)

    «That’s it, boy, we are travelling. In this stopped bus, we haven’t stopped travelling. It reminds me of when I used  to ride on the train.“ (…)»

    ​

    Sleepwalking Land (VIII – The Sigh of the Trains), Mia Couto, 1992
