50-25

The Image

A dancer in black leaps beside a giant red carnation and the number 50, carrying the Portuguese flag colours. A tribute to 25 de Abril at fifty.

The carnation and the 50 are both the subject. They sit at the same scale, they share the same weight, they make the civic date read as image before it reads as text.

Made in 2024 for the fiftieth anniversary of the Carnation Revolution. A small piece of public memory given a poster format.
