Hearts On Fire (Group Show)
26th May — 30th Jun 2023 @ahomemmau (Lisboa)
‘Now take all the delights of the earth, melt them into one single delight, and cast it entire into a single person - all this will be as nothing to the delight of which I speak.’
PLATO presents Hearts On Fire, an exhibition exploring intensity, excess, and desire in the space of A Homem Mau. The gallery space becomes a territory for exploring various readings on the title theme. There are many different places to explore, some of which are completely different from one another. It establishes multiple relationships, creates cross-readings, forms groups, or aggravates differences. A multitude of supports and objects are granted privilege to build several possible narratives. (Roland Barthes quote)
