Multimedia artist Miguel Faro proposed a cross exploration of personal and collective universes through the relationships established with some objects and their image. The workshop participants chose and photographed objects from their domestic sphere that subsequently occupied the urban public space through their projection in selected spaces of Quinta do Loureiro. In this process, expression was promoted through tools and concepts of contemporary creation such as performance, installation, framing, composition and symbolism.
