While Robert Morris is Asleep (2005)

A serie of photographs taken at a vacant lot in the periphery of Lisbon, that represent some of the overlapping values produced by the fast changes that was being felt at the time in Portugal, on the verge of the opening of the first IKEA store in the country.
The landscape is populated by a female dreamy like character who embodies the male character of Hypnerotomachia Poliphili (1499) a restless young adult looking for love while overcoming all sorts of architectural forms and beasts. This work also pays homage to conceptual artist Robert Morris, who delve so well the idea of theatricality.
