Mármore é um projecto que levou Pedro Letria a países como Palestina, Inglaterra, Índia, Bósnia-Herzegovina e República Democrática do Congo, e no qual trabalhou durante vários anos. Da sala de autópsias do Instituto de Medicina Legal em Lisboa a uma esquadra de polícia em Diu, de um campo de refugiados sérvio-bósnio a uma empresa madeireira no Congo, da maternidade de Gaza ao primeiro salão erótico de Lisboa, as 44 fotografias deste livro criam uma narrativa única.

“The images on show have something to do with work and with everyday life, but not a lot and certainly not enough to qualify the book as a survey with documentary credentials. Instead they introduce us to another kind of work more often associated with literature, and with poetry in particular. Poetry involves itself with possibilities in language and asks us to reflect on what we know, and the more subliminal that knowledge is the better the poem will be.”
"In the history of the medium there is nothing quite like Mármore, nothing with its epistemological range. It is true that it is to some degree a report on the state of the world, but it is to an even greater degree an invitation to us to try to understand just how to relate to everything that is."
Ian Jeffrey, historiador de fotografia e professor no Goldsmiths College de Londres.
