Full details

In O Bestiário, Carla Cabanas presents an installation made up of sculptures inspired by the universe of imaginary beings gathered by Jorge Luis Borges in The Book of Imaginary Beings. Among guardian fish, impossible birds, hybrid creatures and mythical figures, the artist creates a territory where reality and fiction intertwine, continuously expanding a repertoire of forms, stories and meanings. Each sculpture summons pre-existing narratives and, at the same time, opens up space for new interpretations, arising from the gaze and experience of those who observe them. Using gold leaf as a metaphor for transformation and repair, in an approach to the Japanese traditions of wabi-sabi and kintsugi, Carla Cabanas highlights imperfection as well as the marks of time, impermanence and incompleteness. The incorporation of photographs from her own family history brings these fantastic creatures closer to the human condition, turning them into mirrors of our vulnerabilities, memories and desires. Spread across three interconnected nuclei, O Bestiário leads audiences on a journey between the strange and the familiar, where imagination reveals deep affinities with the experience of life. Tuesday to Sunday, from 10h to 13h and from 14h to 18h. Free.

Show original (Portuguese)

Em O Bestiário , Carla Cabanas apresenta uma instalação composta por esculturas inspiradas no universo dos seres imaginários reunidos por Jorge Luis Borges em O Livro dos Seres Imaginários . Entre peixes guardiões, aves impossíveis, criaturas híbridas e figuras míticas, a artista cria um território onde realidade e ficção se entrelaçam, expandindo continuamente um repertório de formas, histórias e significados. Cada escultura convoca narrativas pré-existentes e, simultaneamente, abre espaço a novas interpretações, a partir do olhar e da experiência de quem as observa. Recorrendo à folha de ouro como metáfora de transformação e reparação, numa aproximação às tradições japonesas do wabi-sabi e do kintsugi, Carla Cabanas evidencia a imperfeição bem como as marcas do tempo, da impermanência, e da incompletude. A incorporação de fotografias da sua própria história familiar aproxima estas criaturas fantásticas da condição humana, tornando-as espelhos das nossas vulnerabilidades, memórias e desejos. Distribuída por três núcleos interligados, O Bestiário conduz os públicos por um percurso entre o estranho e o familiar, onde a imaginação revela afinidades profundas com a experiência da vida. Terça a domingo, das 10h às 13h e das 14h às 18h. gratuito.
