FAUSTINE by Carlota Jardim

11 Outubro a 2 Novembro

Carlota Jardim | Faustine

11 Outubro – 2 de Novembro 2024

Ghostly heroine of “The Invention of Morel”, Faustine is beyond dreams and reality.
This exhibition explores the adventure of the virtual image, that is, one that exists in potential (in imagination and dreams), in equivalence (in any conversion system), in simulation (as a disguise or delirium).
From a ghost writer of detective stories to a doppelgänger of Titian, “Faustine”, character-exposition, embodies the imaginative spirit of platonic fantasies, hypnopompic states or feverish hallucinations.
