Empty




2022
oMuseu, Porto‘Empty’ was part of ‘Tocar, Suspender, Cingir e Pender…’ exhibition at oMuseu in Porto in 2022. The project explored the concept of fragmentation of a physical reality to the limits of its immateriality. It radically confronts the physicality of an artwork’ presentation or all the objects that this presentation involves with its sustainability issues. There’s no visual documentation of this project. Visiting the exhibition space was the only way to experience the work.
