EN | The exhibition/installation "Lugar a Proceder" intends to emphasize through photography, video, sound and objects aspects that may be related to memory. This work accompanies the academic research for my PhD. "Research into the invisible of practice. Habit, repetition and variation. From the body's memory to the memory of objects." The exhibition also understood as a research process, is conceived in a circular way, as if it were in a loop, a common aspect of the five pieces that constitute it. The pieces are a set of fifteen photographs, measuring 43.34 x 65 cm, two videos, a sound installation and a set of objects from which two pieces of clothing stand out. One of the pieces of clothing was present at Christian Boltanski's exhibition, "Dança Macabra" Guimarães, European Capital of Culture, 2012. The presentation of the exhibition was attended by Priest Nuno Santos, Rector of the Major Seminary of Coimbra; Doctor António Olaio, artist and teacher, Director of the College of Arts of the University of Coimbra; Doctor Luís António Umbelino, philosopher and teacher, Professor of Philosophy at the Faculty of Humanities of the University of Coimbra and Rita Gaspar Vieira, artist and teacher, with Ph.D. in Fine Arts – Drawing and Master in Theories of Art, at F.B.A.U.L.
