In Plato’s “República”, it is stated at a certain point: “he would be able to look at the Sun and contemplate it, not its image in water or in any other place, but the Sun itself, in its own place”. This is the peripatetic journey that Rui Horta Pereira proposes to us through these large-scale drawings. As if walking outdoors, listening to Aristotle’s teachings, a light reflects an image that transforms into another reality. After all, there are those who (even so) prefer to see reality rather than a shadow projected by space.

In this first path of this peripatetic journey, “Território tranlúcido” presents four new drawings that will enter into dialogue, within the exhibition space, with sculptures that are another derivation of the original matrix, in a play that, taking light as its point of departure, questions us about the place of drawing and sculpture.
