Desenho de Luz

Description

In the fourth volume of our Cadernos do Centenário [Centenary Notebooks], we set out to design light. This is where we now stand, after words of memory and affection (O Elogio do Espectador [Praise of the Spectator]), thoughts as images that celebrate the triumph of restoration over decrepitude (Caderno de Obra [Work Notebook]) and the inventorying of the shapes, lines and colours of our graphic communication up to 2019 (Teatro Visual [Visual Theatre]). Desenho de Luz [Lighting Design] is the product of António Jorge Gonçalves’ “artist residency” in the Teatro São João and its urban surroundings. In this book, the line is a beam of light on black pages, as the pencil forges a path through thick masses of darkness. The illustrator reveals to (and conceals from) us an edifice in a joyously haunted condition; what is so familiar to us becomes something strange, the domestic turns into the fantastic.
