exhibition The sun was about him - she says, curated by Manuel Santos Maia, Espaço Mira, Porto

A virtual opera singer (Adriana Romero) vocalizes the words of a mundane conversation between Marguerite Duras and François Mitterrand. Empty chairs arranged diagonally, an opera singer who appears absent—but can be discovered a floor above, like a phantom on an elevated stage illuminated by a skylight—and a sentence written in white chalk on the floor, evoking Boulevard Raspail in Paris. These elements create a unique atmosphere, with the sound echoing through the stone walls, producing a sacred, church-like ambiance.
The public is invited to take a seat.

A site-specific installation based on the book The Post Station at Dupin Street by Marguerite Duras and François Mitterrand. The group exhibition The Sun Was About Him - She Says was part of the centennial celebrations of Marguerite Duras.
