Contra Ponto

Tristany Mundu‘s performance proposes the construction of a symbolic and imaginary route, taken by two performers in an equally imaginary vehicle.

The journey contrasts the physicality of their bodies in space with the presence and singular meanings of Mónica de Miranda’s works, inviting us to reflect on the relationship between nature and the human and the different dimensions of this dynamic.

Tristany Mundu is a transdisciplinary artist born in 1995 in Linha de Sintra, Lisbon, with Angolan and Portuguese origins. He is a musician, performer, visual artist, producer, creative director and curator. His first album, Meia Riba Kalxa (2020), inspired visual series such as Baxu ku Riba and Au vivu. He made his debut as a visual artist with Interferências at MAAT, and curated the exhibition Meia Riba Kalxa na boka mundu at the Iminente Festival. Co-founder of the Unidigrazz collective, he has presented projects in Europe and works in different cultural spaces. He is currently developing the trilogy Cidade à volta da Cidade (2025), presented at CAM/Gulbenkian Foundation.

This performance forms part of the e activations programme of the piece Timelapse, which is featured in Mónica de Miranda‘s exhibition Depth of Field.
