The exhibition From Turbulence to Rule or The Discreet Transformation of Occurrence departs from a homonymous text by Roger Caillois that speaks to the relation between people and vertigos (and the taunting they generate). From that idea I present works made out of labels, traffic signs, striped chevron barrier tape, drawings, and words, operating discreet and cyclic actions in the attempt to materialize the relation between the continuous and yet discreet constitution and vulnerability of the subject in relation to the limits imposed to its action.
The exhibition took place at Galeria Má Arte (PT).
