Com a condição temporária de uso de um apartamento abandonado, surgiu a oportunidade de o ocupar por uns dias. Juntamente com o Pedro Barassi e o Pedro Liñares, que partilham o espaço para trabalhar, selecionei, de forma intuitiva, um conjunto de peças. Estivemos várias tardes nesse espaço a discutir sobre o melhor método de descrição de um lugar: um esquema analítico, “este espaço é um corredor, cinco salas e cinco janelas”, ou uma instrução estética, “este espaço é papel de parede azul e rosa, chão de madeira, teto trabalhado”.
Time flies by here, with our fast-paced conception of living. We are in Paris, the city of lights. A metaphor for the epicenter of modernity, light is a synonym for avant-garde thinking. In this city, great minds have come together to reimagine the Western world. Maria wants to know, what about now? How many of these lights still brighten Paris in present times? Is There Yet Space For Light is an introspection on the absence of light in the world, shedding light on environments that corrupt our capacity to imagine and to perceive. It is indeed a rhetorical question, hence there is no question mark at the end. The digital world, over consumption, relentless construction, and all sorts of other deteriorating realities that occupy our space. Is There Yet Space For Light is as mental as it is incredibly physical exercise.
