"The force of reminiscence and industrial memory appears in the exhibition’s double scenography. Joaquim Sapinho uses the chiaroscuro of intimate memories to bring about the echoes of collective history. Whereas Apichatpong Weerasethakul uses collective memory to create the figures of an intimate narrative. Joaquim is a lyrical poet, Apichatpong works in an epic vein... Each artist has sought a source of light by reinventing the night." - Marie-José Mondzain
Produced by Rosa Filmes and Harvard Film Archive

CSG: mode d'emploi
Installation. Gulbenkian Foundation
Joaquim Sapinho
Produced by Rosa Filmes
"A challenge was proposed to filmmaker Joaquim Sapinho, to bring together the founder's and the modern collections of the Gulbenkian Foundation. The course set by Sapinho's narrative refers to exile, to the transporting of a home and works of art to another country and to the expression of the immense confluence of cultures and civilisations in the founder’s collection. How to figure out the connection of this international collection with Portuguese art? This is the question this exhibition asks" - Penelope Curtis
Democratic Painting
Installation. Fundação D. Luís I
Joaquim Sapinho
José Manuel dos Santos
Produced by Rosa Filmes
"How was painting in Portugal before the Revolution of the 25th of April? How to give back the sigh returning the opacity, that may allow us to see these paintings not just as disperse or individual? They form the portrayal of a momento that is the ideal of democracy. As we, nowadays, live in it's disillusion, perhaps it's worthy to remember, precisely through art, a moment that in a form not as systematic, it was created the possibility of a democratic art." - José Marmeleira
