With approximately 200 pages, the catalog includes an essay by João Fernandes (exhibition curator), an interview with the artist conducted by Ricardo Nicolau and João Fernandes, a biobibliography and a list of works on display.

It also includes a selection of images from other projects already carried out, as well as video stills of the artist.
