Relógio de Sol  
Galeria PLATO, Évora, 2023 “That night I slept very badly. It was hot and when I left the house I forgot my glasses, which caused me great discomfort as I couldn’t see in the strong daylight. When I arrived here I remember crossing a long corridor and turning right after the coffee machine where there was a small wooden door that led to the top floor of the building. I suddenly lose myself in the vision of some kind of balcony. All the memories are the same as yesterday, anyway, I’m not the same. It’s lunchtime and I hear machine noises and distinct voices around. Everything that could be, over time, just another habit in the erratic journey of chances, became my greatest fear. I no longer knew if I had crossed two streets or the same street twice. Outside the banks of the river, the smoke produced by cargo ships, and a few steps away, a small refuge facing west and, further down, the marble staircase. The day displaces and confuses the shadows around me and at this moment my dream falls apart. The habit of inventing prophetic situations and the trail of everyday gestures left impressions on reality and created an impossible scene before my eyes. The volumes that formed a penumbra at an angle were more than structures made of concrete. I, worked by time and barbaric life, no longer knew how to listen to words. From the moment of vertigo, where the past and present become confused, nothing makes sense anymore. “

In ‘Relógio de Sol’, exhibited at Galeria PLATO, Pedro Barassi and Pedro Liñares present a video installation and a series of paintings in an immersive environment. The exhibition, which revolves around the short film of the same name, addresses issues related to the dichotomy between the prophetic and the mundane, the routine and the extraordinary. Filmed in the artists’ old studio in Lisbon, the film is full of a personal and contemplative atmosphere, where characters, objects, and space mix in a kind of reverie. In the film, the main character and the script were created in co-authorship, as was the painting “Da condição de vertigem (Na condição de cenário)”, which made possible the creation of a new reference point. This approach ends up manifesting itself both in the works and in the conceptualization of the exhibition itself. Just as in “Prosa do Observatório” 1 by Julio Cortázar, analogous associations are proposed between distant elements. In the book full of symbols, stories, and reflections, poetic prose and photographs interpellate each other and gain multiple meanings, and the reader is invited to observe the in-between: “this way of being between, not above or behind, but between, [ ...] sheltered from other hours [...] hole in the web of time” (p. 9). Likewise in ‘Relógio de Sol’ the paintings produced and selected suggest a non-linear and complementary dialogue to the film, having been created specifically for this exh
