Hors d’oeuvre
2019- work in progress
Installation, performance


With Clarissa Serafim

Hors d'oeuvre is motivated by urgent issues within contemporary art: system, market, exhibition and reception of artworks. Conceived as an investigation in several phases, the project starts from a concern around what can be considered the traditional format of presentation of art works: the exhibition and its rituals.

Azul
2019-2022 
Drawing on blue carbon paper, 29 x 21 cm (each).


The series of works promotes an encounter between Brazil and Portugal through phrases used in contexts of symbolic, economic or political power, always having as a central element the word "blue". They form an illustrated lexicon in which old or disused expressions are presented that had an important presence in historical moments, such as the dictatorial periods experienced by both countries.

Projeto de chávena
Cup project, 2018
Photographs, architectural drawing, 3d modeling


“Cup project” was part of a installation created with Sociedade Anónima (SA), a collaborative project by artists Clara Sampaio, Jorge Cabrera and Raquel Moreira. It is an archaeology made by the artists from the remains of utilitarian porcelain abandoned at the Coimbra Sociedade de Porcelanas (1924-2005), a factory whose main production was utilitarian china for dinner and tea. After being acquired by the Vista Alegre company, with the intention of closing it down, the factory closed down after one of the biggest workers' strikes the city has ever experienced.

My work focuses especially on the cup, an object predominantly found in this industrial cemetery, as a way to capture its design, preventing its disappearance and facilitating its future process of recreation.
