Benjamim Furtado (Lisbon, 1998) explores the rhythms and traces of pedestrian life. His work brings together different types of sonic and visual materialities while thematically and formally approaching the architectural. In his most recent body of work Façade (This one is a cover…) Furtado takes on the role of a lonely narrator living in a shared apartment. Phonetic explorations and sample based music coalesce with textual reflections on acoustics, memory, and the theatricality of the everyday.
Odete works between performance, text, visual arts and music. Her work is obsessed with historiographical writing, using erotics and paranoia as two somatic ways of relating to the archival materials. She writes through her body, speculating biographies of historical characters through epidermic pleasures: fashion, personality, presence, fragrance, grace, sensibility. She claims to be a bastard daughter of Lucifer, descending from the medieval practice of satanic pacts to alter one’s gendered body. Lately she has been researching and working around building connection points between “effeminate” histories, from the baroque Castrati to the 19th century dandies.
