In her first solo exhibition in Portugal, Frida Orupabo presents Cloud of Confusion, a powerful reflection on the circulation, the archive and the meaning of images in the digital age. Known for the work she develops from photographs found and collected online, the Norwegian artist builds a visual universe marked by tensions between intimacy and violence, memory and erasure, identity and representation. Curated by Marta Mestre, the exhibition establishes a direct dialogue with the architecture of the MAC/CCB, organized as a route of eight moments that evokes the continuous movement of navigating between screens. Inspired by the vast archive of images that Orupabo has gathered over the years, the show explores what the artist describes as the “abyss” of images: their strangeness, fragmentation and capacity to generate multiple readings. The title refers simultaneously to the digital cloud and to the nebula of information, memory and forgetting that characterizes the contemporary experience. ARV. Tuesday to Sunday, from 10 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Guided tour: 11 July, at 11 a.m. Technical sheet: Curated by Marta Mestre.
