Uncertain Strata (2022) is a collection of images and artefacts, an expansion of the themes proposed by ANTICLINE (2020).
The works propose a ‘rearrangement’ of the notions of the archive, by escaping from a traditional disciplinary classification, which intends to suggest a holistic and ambiguous understanding of the exploration of stone. Thus, this project aims at highlighting and drawing connections between some of the technological, cultural and socio-political production in order to deconstruct the complex web of agencies transforming this landscape over time.

O arquivo é o verbo, o lugar que une a história discreta e a história visível, a tentativa de mostrar no mesmo olhar o espaço de dentro e o espaço
de fora. No caso, a rocha suspensa, ainda solo invisível sob os pés, e a rocha trabalhada, transformada, obliterada, com que as cidades pontuam a paisagem. O mesmo para o toque, para o olhar. Ainda pronunciamos os mesmos castelos de vapor.
