Reflex

Folds of migrant voices resound over a landscape representative of the rural area of Viseu Dão Lafões. “Reflex” (from the lat. reflexus ‘action of going back’) is proposed as an intervention in the landscape from a mirrored membrane in which stories about a community are translated. How does the aurality of a region change based on its migratory processes? The reflected image is altered, the concept of landscape is presented as a changing reality, a space in constant redefinition activated by the voices of those who inhabit/has inhabited these territories.
