I Have Never been a Surrealist Until Today<\/span><\/i> is a site-specific <\/span>project <\/span><\/i> that occupied more than 1000m2 in the Oval Gallery of the MAAT in Lisbon. It was based on a model of the same name, now in the collection of the Mus\u00e9e de Beaux Arts de Montr\u00e9al. Like this one, it refers to the rupture of the contemporary urban landscape by exploring the relationship between subject and city, architecture and urbanism, fiction and reality, transporting us to a dystopian world where we find ourselves, like a mirror, with our fragilities and fears. A sort of chaotic space has been configured in which lights and electricity pylons, traffic lights, a plane crash and diverse vegetation coexist; a landscape of flickering lights that ends up emulating a living, breathing body.<\/span><\/p>

I Have Never been a Surrealist Until Today <\/span><\/i>is a piece that dialogues with the very history of the museum in which it was presented, located in an old thermoelectric plant, and which is also a witness to this change in the uses of energy today.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
