Turn around. A look at the EDP Foundation Art Collection

Susanne S. D. Themlitz (1968, Lisbon) has her own private world. While similar to ours in every respect, it seems to be governed by the laws of fluidity, reconversion and recombination. The beings that inhabit it are bipeds like us, but they can have wooden arms, pigs’ heads or glass trunks. Conversely, animals behave like people, and the flora joins in the fun in a cosmos without rules or hierarchies. Of course, angles are a problem in this universe. They tend to be hard and static. The exception is the 45º angle, which deserves to be observed and studied because it seems to always be between states, as if suspended, simultaneously rising and falling.
