Carpe Diem's Drawing, 2015
The work Carpe Diem Drawing is a site specific installation. It is an evolution from the works Rooster´s Drawing (USA) and the Pedro Oliveira´s Drawing (PT). This drawing was inspired by the existing colors of the main staircase of the Pombal Palace. A tone of blue and a tone of orange. It’s composed of cables, cotton and wool strings, pulleys and a windlass. It is the movement of the windlass situated at the top of the staircase that generates the different patterns of the drawing that are perceived in different manners according to the position of the viewer. Special thanks to Hanken and especially to Peter Harken who made this project possible with the donation of the windblass.
