Formas de Memória

Joint exhibition held at Xau Laura, Rua Miguel Bombarda, Porto, Sept – Nov 2025.

For this exhibition, Eliana and Alun created the site-specific installation ‘Golpe de Asa‘ combining cyanotype, collage and suspended objects.

From the Folha da Sala:

Memory is everywhere. It lives with us in the places we inhabit and in the culture we share. We place our most precious memories in objects, from which they can be released with a simple glance, a gentle touch.

Inspired by philosophy, personal experience, and people living with dementia, Alun presents objects with constructed memories, images that are literally unique memories, and others that embody philosophical concepts.
Departing from curiosity about the distant or recent reality, Eliana relies on the memory of sensitive, dreamlike and undefined, but lasting and persistent impressions to create drawings and sculptures.
