A special night time opening, up to 11pm with no appointment needed, of Alexandre Estrela solo show "Um Mês Acordado", curated by Gerard Faggionato. 

A rare occasion to meet Estrela's hallucinatory universe, floating between cronic insomnia and altered perceptions. 

Exhibition info: 

Um Mês Acordado uncovers the cognitive abilities of the sleepless viewer, interrogates perception of reality and in a way, mirrors the gaze of someone permanently stuck in a wakeful state.

The exhibition tells the accounts of an insomniac, through simple experimental filmmaking techniques, that set ”perceptive traps" triggering entoptic lights and undesirable tinnitus, an hallucinatory outer-body experience close to the so-called prisoner's cinema.
 
The exhibition is anchored in two fundamental ideas: that chronic restless nights can bring clairvoyance and that there is a universal score embedded in most contemporary music. Images and sounds will haunt the viewer to a point where illusions become concrete.
