Located in Fortaleza São João Batista do Pico, Funchal.
The multidisciplinary Project “Misplacing” is composed by a painting and video created by Hanamaro Chaki and Margarida Menezes.
The project inspires itself in the landscapes of Madeira Island to create a visual and audio scenery, which depicts the history of two fantastical creatures that here arrive, one from the sea, while the other one arrives from the air, bringing with them textures and environments that blend with the firmness of the land. In this relentless search, here and now, will they find happiness? Maybe you can help them, maybe they can learn with you… And you, are you happy here and now?
The exhibition incorporates a variety of various symbolic elements that evoke emotional responses and their relationship to the protagonists.
The video art reflects the audio narrative of the of these characters and their respective adaptations to the environment (space and culture) through performative language inspired by the butoh, which is a Japanese dance genre.
