(eng. “opaque days”).
Collaborative installation and exhibition with Teresa Chow.
Produced and developed for Dentro, with the funding of Criatório - Porto,
for independent artist-run spaces.
The work was divided into two rooms. In the entry hall, visitors were received with a dialogue between two photographs printed on metal. Even though we prefer to keep the relationship between the two images mainly abstract and subjective, the two are linked by the element of fire or smoke. Two small-scale objects are presented in the second room - a silkscreen printed on limestone and a black glass box filled with dust charcoal grinded manually by Teresa Chow in 2016.
The walls of this second space have been completely covered with rice paper dyed by hand with black Indian ink. The black backdrop supported an environment where silence permeated and attention was not only driven by light and a strong smell of carbon ink.
