Par son écriture, il éclaire non seulement l'action sportive elle-même, mais aussi son impact sur la société et les individus. Le travail de Davis se caractérise par une observation aiguë et une approche analytique de son sujet.

    • Katalog výstavy, která hledala podobnosti a paralely převratných událostí v Portugalsku a Československu (karafiátové revoluce v roce 1974 a sametové revoluce roku 1989). Obě země mají zkušenost přechodu od totalitního režimu ke svobodě. V obou zemích se doba před a po revolučních změnách odrazila i ve výtvarném umění. Výstava i katalog tak představuje široký soubor uměleckých děl, která vznikla v Portugalsku i Československu v kontextu let 1968-1974-1989 a jež nějakým způsobem reflektovala převratné události doby a proměny společnosti.
