More than a fixed concept Horror Vacui <\/i>functions as a diagnostic tool, revealing cultural ways of negotiating emptiness.
In this exhibition, dozens of anthropomorphic figures from the Treger Saint Silvestre Collection\u2014animals, machines, spirits, humans, monsters, and angels\u2014open up a tumultuous field in which anarchy and excess act as defenses against uncertainty.
A significant part of the exhibition is shaped by the philosophical contribution of the Portuguese author Gon\u00e7alo M. Tavares. The text he wrote specifically for this occasion is presented as a sound piece, resonating throughout the galleries and accompanying visitors as they move through the space.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"flx_lyt__text_small","flx_lyt__text_small":"
