Without words and through recourse only to archival materials recorded during the 48-year Portuguese dictatorship (news reels, war coverage, propaganda documentaries, photographs of political prisoners, as well as never before seen rushes), the installation attempts to reach further than the film that lies at its genesis, Natureza Morta by Susana de Sousa Dias, with music by Antonio de Sousa Dias. Some of the principles then prevented by the very limitations inherent to the cinematic apparatus are now put into practice in this installation, deepening issues linked to questions of space, time and narrative, while furthermore exploring other forms of musical writing.Ficha técnica
