197 Landscapes of Abstraction
Adrià Cañameras
Edition of 200
PROGRESSO ARCHIVE – 002
Adrià Cañameras has transformed a moment of artistic disorientation (as he himself states) into an opportunity to explore the possibilities presented by the interaction between a limited series of chemicals and Fujifilm's FP-100 photographic paper.
The work is limited in terms of the materials used (bleach, turpentine, citrus), but also in terms of the number of tests possible, limited to a batch of 20 packs of 10 films, and that are now out of stock commercially. This limitation is not a shortcoming, but rather serves to make the artist's project more concise. Two of the pieces have been lost, therefore the work collected here actually consists of 197 + 3 abstract landscapes. Unfinished, the series of compositions first of all shows the productive nature of repetition. Despite variations, repetition of the same technique is not redundant, but instead progressively traces the outlines of a landscape of undecided dimensions.

Aitor Bigas
Edition of 150
PROGRESSO ARCHIVE – 005
The publication 'E42' intertwines the author's photographic chronicles with a carefully curated array of quotes sourced from literature, archives, and historical manuscripts, fostering a profound discourse that interlaces aesthetics with politics. By delving into the EUR neighborhood, it extends a compelling invitation to readers to embark on a journey of exploration.
This book is a portrayal of the stark contrast between the envisioned glory and the silent reality that EUR has become, inviting readers on a romantic stroll through the fuming ruins of a dream that failed to materialize.

How to Pose the Model
Rita Lino
Edition of 100
PROGRESSO ARCHIVE – 004
With selected artworks from the archive of the visual artist Rita Lino, and afterwards assembled together by lafolie8, “How to pose the model” is the first poster curated and produced by Progresso.
When unfolded, the set of subtle images come together at peace, revealing a series of movements that seem to have been interrupted by the audience.
Focusing mainly on her personal work, Rita Lino has been developing and materialising it in many series of photos as visual exercises that explore a natural obsession with the self and the persona; a continuous work-in-progress using the body as primary matter to be re-created and exorcised.
Lino describes her photography as animalistic, instinctive, intimate, narcissistic, a thousand possible interpretations, a spiritual place, a self-sustained rehab outlined by a brutal transparency.

ONE
STILLZ
Edition of 1500
PROGRESSO ARCHIVE – 003
“One” is the first printed selection of an ongoing series by the American Colombian photographer and film director STILLZ. Designed as a type of “telephone directory”, the book results in a compilation of photographs he has been taking with his 70s Polaroid Big Shot since 2017.
Inspired by Warhol’s Polaroids (1958-1987), he uses this same format to create a living map of America’s contemporary urban scene. In a way, the publication functions as the artist's manifesto and a declaration of intent, using his own words, “to create a kind of personal mark at a specific point in time for the music culture”. Indeed, as once did Warhol, STILLZ continues to work with the most influential characters of our times.
The collection of portraits, including artists such as Erykah Badu, A$AP Rocky, Miley Cyrus or the late XXXTentacion, is the material testimony of STILLZ’s outstanding professional career and the relationships that are forged during the process.
