Event
The Picture Generation project appropriates the photographic archive from 2001 to 2011 of Maus Hábitos, its activities, its people, its artists and the city of Porto in the 1st decade of the 21st century, where Maus Hábitos marked a new way of "making it happen". We could not find a better place to show this archive for the first time than Pierrot le Fou's Portable Gallery. This strange machine-object is formalized as a miniaturized imaginary building, inspired by Marcel Duchamp's Boîte-en-Valise, provoking the notion of the spectator's privacy and making sense of scale ambiguous. Just as in the photographs of Daniel Pires where we are at same time voyeur/spectators and participants.
