Due to the restriction notices issued by Civil Protection, we inform you that the talk with Erika Balsom and João Nisa, which was to take place today at 6.30pm, has been postponed to tomorrow, 14 December, at 3pm. We thank you for your understanding.

On December 13th, Galeria Zé dos Bois receives professor and critic Erika Balsom, whose work focuses on cinema, contemporary art, and their intersection, for a conversation with João Nisa about his exhibition Primeiras Impressões de uma Paisagem [First Impressions of a Landscape], currently on view at the gallery. The exhibition consists of a video installation made from material filmed inside the Águas Livres Aqueduct, on the outskirts of Lisbon, using one of its segments as a series of camera obscura devices. The conversation will focus on several aspects related to this project, from the working process involved in its realization to the conception of the exhibition itself, including its relations with the practice of different filmmakers and artists.
