About Mario Cruz

“The work by Mario Cruz hits you like a brick in the face. He uncovers the unimaginable nightmare of child slavery, something that should simply not exist in our time…”
A shocking but ultimately inspiring story of how photographs moved a country to enact much-needed change against a long-running tradition of child slavery and exploitation.
Living in the heart of Lisbon but very much on the periphery, this series documents the lives of people who have been forced to take shelter in seemingly abandoned buildings across the city. Factories, old homes, entire villages—ruined yet somehow barely clinging on to life.
