Fernanda Fragateiro's work is characterised by the articulation of contemporary plastic experiences with a personal vision of anthropological, social, architectural and urban phenomena. Her works result from this multidisciplinary problematisation and the overlapping of languages, valuing a poly-referential constructive nature and appealing to the dialogue with the surrounding physical and metaphorical spaces, interior or exterior.

Situated in the area of sculpture-installation, - Shot from the back
is composed of a set of elements that leave clues to an interpretation that will always be ephemeral and plural. In this case, it seems clear the tension caused by the antinomic meanings of the objects: the chaise longue and the blanket evoke rest and comfort; the dumbbells and the spade recall effort and work. On the other hand, the austerity of the set, the immaculate appearance of each object, and the relationships established by the ordered arrangement of all elements highlight the silence and an enigmatic absence. It brings to the observer a sense of desolation or constriction that one can relate to the idea of disappearance or death - which is, in fact, suggested by the title of the piece.

The elementary vocabulary of this work might seem to be, at first sight, exclusively linked either to a post-minimalist aesthetic or to a certain ready-made Objectualism. However, it also - and surprisingly - alludes to the surrounding space and architecture (whatever it might be) since the set allows each viewer to construct an individual spatiality based on their own experience and memory of inhabitable spaces.
