Abstract: This review describes and critically analyses the conceptual relationship between the photographic act and André Leite Coelho's photography book Sonâmbulo. The text exposes the photographic practice as both a consequence and an artefact of urban space. It suggests a common ontology between photography and the city by elaborating on intersections between street photography practice and its history. The discussion also addresses the aesthetic choices of the book's graphic design and its layout as a possibility for subjective representations of the city space in its fragmented and transitory perception through photography.
