Encontros instáveis

Encontros instáveis (Unstable Encounters) is a visual action that investigates the poetics of bodily movement through dialog with objects in architectural space, using a scenic plastic language. The piece is constructed with the aim of creating a temporal sequence of sculptural actions starring two elements: on the one hand, the author's body, and on the other, a set of wooden planks of different sizes. The action is specifically designed for the space located on R. Sra. das Dores, in Porto, where there is a housing complex designed by Álvaro Siza.
