I came across Edgar Martins project The Rehearsal of Space at Passage De Retz Gallery in Paris, and was completely stunned by the beautiful prints. These images were produced during the 2005-2008 fires in Portugal, Edgar working in conjunction with firefighters over his residency at Fire Protection Unit. Some of the photographs are smoked due to the negatives exposed to heat from the fires, resulting in technical accidents which added to the atmosphere of the photographs, later using the same technique purposefully in his later series.
