Museum without Walls

You are the crossroad of your memories - Born from clay and modelled in 3D, this installation is composed by a virtual room, a performance program and a digital publication. Its shape, inspired by the moringa, an object used by aboriginal peoples for storing and cooling water, is a reminder and an invitation: a reminder that without its union with natural elements, our existence would not be possible; and an invitation to play with the porosity of memory, identity and body. Concept and realization: Pedra Silva, Garu e Rodrigo Lopes.

Perhaps the act of appropriation has an element of appreciation, but it is much more than that. Tutorship implies concern, but such response is not the only way (or the best one) to demonstrate care.

Reproductions of “artworks” which come with a glossary create a new perspective, add another meaning, or simply mix up the first meaning when facing what was initially appropriated by the artist.
