Artwork featured in "African Artists: From 1882 Until Now" book, Phaidon.

In the Series of photographs "Espaços Vacilantes", taken between 2018 and 2019, the artist explores the built space of Cidadela, an aspirational urban project in Praia whose buildings hover between unfinished and occupied. Situated in a desirable swath of land by the sea, Cidadela broke ground in 2004 with the promise to unveil a new urban space with “gardens and public squares, cultural activities, health-related activities, sporting activities and even for commerce and services.” Yet, fifteen years on, Schofield Cardoso’s subjects—incomplete concrete buildings and plots of land yet to be occupied (or ambiguously occupied)—stand in an indeterminate space, remnants of the “City of the Future”.
