Description of project
“Double Exposure” is an exhibition curated by Sandra Vieira Jürgens for Sala Sonae - Museu Nacional de Arte Contemporânea do Chiado, including a catalogue with an original text by the curator.
“Double Exposure” consists of an allegorical video-essay based on the text “the wanderer and its shadow” by Friedrich Nietzsche. The script unfolds other passages borrowed from Virginia Wolf, Mark fisher, Paul Auster and Elizabeth Araújo Lima about the affective – when not directly potentially political – relationship between senses of depression and exclusion.
The video was shot with Dan Graham’s “Double Exposure” sculpture as background, with the aim to render formal relations of visibility/invisibility, opacity/transparency, inside/outside, by making use of the spatial qualities of the sculptural.
