Arte Pública Leiria. Leiria, Portugal. October 2019 Photographs: Guido van Helten
Completed for the 2019 edition of Arte Pública Leiria curated by Riscas Vadias. The piece brings together an interpretation of architecture, colour and movement through a collaboration with Leiria based contemporary dancer Inesa Markava. This was symbolised with a photographic study of textural features of landscape together with an interpretive dance piece. With this with intent the piece works to create harmony with the urban features of the city through colour, design and placement.
With thanks to Inesa Markava, Ricardo Romero, Carla Tavaras and Australian Embassy Portugal.
Photographs by Guido van Helten and Pedro Guerra
