Entitled “Pavia, meu amor”, the exhibition, promoted by the parish council, in the municipality of Mora, district of Évora, is based on the photographic production of the last twenty years of the French artist.

Réquillart, whose work is included in the collections of institutions such as the Mediatheque of Architecture and Heritage, the Georges Pompidou Center and the National Gallery of Jeu de Paume, in Paris (France), has been dedicated to documenting the community life of Pavia.

According to the promoters, the exhibition, which is open to the public until November, will consist of 47 photographs, in large format, covering the artistic production of Bruno Réquillart between 2001 and 2021.

The images will be installed on monumental chimneys and walls of houses in the Alentejo village, at the headquarters of the parish council, at the Clock Tower, in a church and on the wall of a home, the promoters said.

This initiative, they highlighted, aims to “culturally boost the village”, which “has a relevant cultural heritage”, with emphasis on the Chapel of São Dinis and the House-Museum of the neorealist artist Manuel Ribeiro de Pavia.

Born in 1947, the French photographer and painter Bruno Réquillart, who has lived intermittently in Pavia, has already shown some photographs of the Alentejo village in exhibitions held in South Korea, China and France.
