Other Spaces (Fault line)

Photography in the Américo Marques Collection (Part II)

Other Spaces (Fault line) brings together Portuguese and international artists who explore, through photography, the ways in which human bonds are formed, negotiated and dissolved. Taking the experience of love as one of its guiding threads, the exhibition unfolds as a narrative that moves through desire, intimacy, closeness, tension, distance and loss.

A fault line is a fracture in the Earth's crust where two tectonic plates meet, building up tension and, as they shift, irreversibly transforming the landscape. The exhibition adopts this image as a metaphor for thinking about human relationships as a terrain of contact and instability, where every act of coming together already contains the possibility of change.
