Instalation


It is a contemporary art installation that seeks to establish a dialogue with the pieces in the Casa Museu Medeiros e Almeida. It presents itself as a large-sized ornamental arranjement made of invasive plants and postcards portraying plants, created from cards from the Project Invader: “Invading Plants in Portugal”. The project does not seek to be ironic, though it reacts to possible notions of invasion and superficiality associated with plants, flower arrangements and postcards. The work is inspired by socially and symbolically charged temporal and spatial landmarks, such as State and award ceremonies.
