ChoCho

 

Chocho is Japanese for butterfly, 

and Portuguese for vagina,

so I thought it would be fitted for my first sculpture 

made with 52 Origamis made out of 80's porno mags.

Flowers of Desire #2

As a continuation of the project 

Flowers of Desire,

I've created these kaleidoscopic images 

using some of my photos.

They were hanged next to a magnifying glass

in order to intice people to become voyeurs.

These pieces were shown

at Guimarães Noc Noc 

along with a sculpture 

that I'll show you guys in a future post.

Guimarães Noc Noc 2012

For the second time, Noc Noc

a festival dedicated to art on all fields comes to life in my hometown

Guimarães, this year's European Capital of Culture.

From photography to film, theater, dance, performance art 

all are welcome to this informal cultural intervention.

The 5, 6 and 7th of October,

you are invited to wander through the city with a special map and 

knock on the door of private houses, associations, shops, etc.

and discover a universe of 500 artists, 320 projects 

located in 70 different spaces, allowing you to discover the city 

from a very unusual perspective.

This year Japan is our guest of honor 

and you can see the work of around 25 invited artists.

This year, my photography retrospective

 is going to be shown at number 61 on the map.

 

Here are a couple of the postcards I made 

to help promote this festival that is created/coordinated 

with love instead of money .
