PROJECT:
28 Sem Linha Throughout many different material and graphic experiments - in monotype and silk-screen printing -, Gianluca Patrizi and Marco Garofalo were creating a series of new mythologies around the city of Lisbon. From this research appeared a series of masks and costums, which will become ceremonial pieces for new contemporary rituals.

In a massive recycling of stories, images and materials, 28 Sem Linha results in an ironic critique of consumption society and questions the possibility of resisting a culture that readily incorporates opposition and difference.
