Primal Form

In a liminal space between abstraction and materiality, Francisco Pedro Oliveira proposes an aesthetic and spiritual experience. Throughout the installation, different elements of the work articulate the artist’s ecosystem of interests: Portuguese ethnography, apotropaic phenomena, vernacular knowledge and syncretistic notions of spirituality.
