Generation 2000 against total chaos (part 166)

- Posição 2004: looking at the info. Next?
- Tomás Ribas. Vitral nº3, which means Stained Glass Number 3, dated May 2004. An installation with a fish bowl, with japanese fish, standing on an overhead projector, so that an image of it was projected on the wall of the small darkened room where it was located. I say japanese fish because that is the literal translation of the words he used: peixes japoneses. I don't know much about fish. These ones looked like goldfish to me. Anyway, the main thing is that the image projected was a circle, like a circular window on the wall. White light, and shadows of fish flowing by from time to time. Plato's Cave. Ghost fish. The view from inside a sunken ship. Divine beings worshipped by fish. Whatever he means, it was a shining hit. Good show!
