It is the fluidity of the trace that the works of Augusto Brázio, João Dias, and Rui Horta Pereira address. Traces that transform, in a succession echoing Lavoisier’s Fundamental Law, into other elements that do not become fixed in time or space—deconstructions that lay at the foundation of their creative processes, equipped with the spirit of archaeologists and ethnographers.

Within the works presented, references merge from Philosophy to Science, from the Visual Arts to Literature, and through History to our own contemporaneity, underscoring the polysemic structure of each piece.
