installation, super 8mm film, lightbox, thread counter

Exhibited in Printed Matters #4 (group exhibition), Museum of Fine Arts, University of Porto, Portugal (2013)

In the context of an exhibition dedicated to artist publications, the installation reimagines the book beyond the conventional realm of printed text on paper. It tells the story of an old and tired apartment, part of an empty building that has lost its purpose as a consequence of gentrification. This narrative unfolds as subtitles in a black exposed super 8mm film, arranged throughout the film’s length like lines of prose, made legible through a thread counter and illustrated by moving images. To be read slowly, patiently.
