They found a fissure between time and space… and entered it.

The exhibition Fissura invites the audience to cross the threshold between perception and action, arriving at places where images, like fragments of matter and memory, take shape. It is within this interval, this distance, that the gaze expands, unveiling the hidden potentials of spaces, bodies, and ideas.

The works gathered here do not aim to resolve distances or fill voids but rather to amplify them, transforming them into territories of experimentation. Whether through careful observation, a lost memory, or a well-told story, new layers of who we are and where we stand can be revealed. Among the corners uncovered in this fissure, artifacts are collected, landscapes are recolored, and survival is challenged as fears and courage come to light.

The selection of works weaves through these gaps and touches upon what usually escapes us. Developed within the context of investigations by Cultivamos Cultura, the artists Ana Baleia, Dalila Honorato, Elisa Ferretti, Ellen Wettmore, Jorge Leal, Pavel Romaniko, Lena Ortega & Robertina Šebjanič, and Mellissa Monsoon come together to contemplate new ways of seeing through these fissures.
