This piece is the result of photographic research conducted in the following neighbourhoods of Oporto - Contumil, Pasteleira, ilhas da Boavista e Lapa, where illegitimate construction is common. The widespread use of illegitimate marquees as a physical annexe to city and suburban dwellings is telling of a sociological mindset. In this piece the artist makes use of these shoddy industrialized building materials and gives them a conceptual and sculptural meaning. In so doing, the artist highlights the irony of a common national architectural feature made by everyday citizens.
