This second issue of the first cycle of scopio magazine, entitled Aboveground City, focuses on the intrinsic richness of several public spaces of our cities,. The  elements and features of city space which many times are considered fragmentary, trivial, or hidden, are given a new visibility by the different photography projects and series. Thus, it seeks to publish authors who explore photography in a way that enables viewers to question themselves about what they are seeing. This may not be an easy task and, as Brian Ulrich points out in the book of Joerg Colberg, Conscientious Extended, “It’s a hard thing to take a picture of something we look at and do every day and do it in a way that will ask to be scrutinized”. However, many of the works present in this issue of scopio Magazin certainly belong to this category. 

Pedro Leão Neto (ed.), Inês Moreira, Miguel Pinho, Susana Ventura, Paulo Catrica, Philippe Ruault, André Cepeda, Nuno Grande, Dietrich Neumann, Ema Sara Ribeiro, Virgílio Ferreira, Cristina Sevla, Carlos Machado, Maros Krivy, Mariana Pestana, Beatrice Galilee, Gonçalo Dias, Ângela Frias, Rui Neto, Andrzej Maciejewski, Isabel Coimbra, Maria João Lopes
