Paused Readings
original name Leituras Interrompidas ( full meaning untranslatable)
part of the group exhibition "Cheia" [Flood]
vinyl on pvc ceiling windows
Biblioteca Municipal Rocha Peixoto (library), PT
variable dimensions
Biblioteca Municipal Rocha Peixoto (library) ceiling has a great number of tiny domes that allow the light to get in.
For the exhibition "Cheia" [Flood], happening at and (like in this case) within the library space, I wanted to play from the sensation one might have while reading, when one's eyes move around space, zooning out, losing focus. One might notice these very subtle sentences above. They are Portuguese proverbs that include the word "Word" or are essentially about Words.
