The series of works Dónde dormir (Where to sleep), developed since 2008, are built from a minimal gesture. In this case, sleeping inside the Biblioteca da Ajuda in Lisbon, something we have historically constructed as illegal and subversive. Behind the apparent banality of this everyday gesture lies a political position of resistance to certain social fictions or conventionalisms. A work that proposes a reformulation of our habitat under an attitude that, in its simplicity and reiteration (as this work is part of a wider series) returns the look to the way in which the individual relates to the public space. In itself, the memory with which we build the social space put to examination.
