Museum without Walls

You are the crossroad of your memories - Born from clay and modelled in 3D, this installation is composed by a virtual room, a performance program and a digital publication. Its shape, inspired by the moringa, an object used by aboriginal peoples for storing and cooling water, is a reminder and an invitation: a reminder that without its union with natural elements, our existence would not be possible; and an invitation to play with the porosity of memory, identity and body. Concept and realization: Pedra Silva, Garu e Rodrigo Lopes.

Torre (Heide Liebermann, 1981) - access in augmented reality

In opposition to the objects collected from the rubble of Providência, the archaeological finds that a century ago had been thrown there as leftovers now performed singularity, flaunting the strength of those who, in a gesture of insubmission to gravity and oblivion, had returned to the surface.
