Portraits in

Lost Places Portugals 2026

a photo project by

Anka & Robert Liedtke

The flood of digital snapshots can lead to the value of a genuine photograph being forgotten. This project has emerged from the desire to counteract this inundation and create a unique experience in the real world that surprises visitors and invites them to pause.

Lost places, in particular, exert a unique fascination, and some ruins hold surprising stories. These locations offer an accessible, sometimes casual and spontaneous opportunity for cultural engagement, appealing to people who otherwise rarely encounter art and might never visit a conventional gallery.

Join us on a photographic exploration, immerse yourself in an aesthetic experience, and discover

real pictures in the real world!
