at Galeria Ze Dos Bois, Lisbon

When the installation space is empty, a bright light shines towards the viewer onto a clear plastic sheet, obscuring the objects behind it, while a mixture of sounds, including recordings of the artists working and building in the room, is amplified. When a visitor walks into the room or moves within it, the sounds cease, the bright light turns off, and a faint orange light begins to glow in a distant corner of the room. When the visitor(s) leave the room, or if they remain still for a long enough period of time, the bright light and sounds resurface and fill the space.
