Sun Worship

Adoração ao Sol / Sun Worship (2025) – “Estado de Espírito”
© Dinis Santos/ Galeria Municipal do Porto

Adoração ao Sol é uma instalação composta por catorze painéis de seda tingida e pintada à mão, suspensos e retroiluminados por formas luminosas evocativas de um disco solar em movimento, estabelecendo uma relação entre imagem, matéria e a arquitetura do espaço expositivo.

Através da combinação de luz e cor projetada por lanternas mágicas e espelhos, formas semicirculares desdobram-se nos painéis, expandindo-se para além das superfícies translúcidas e envolvendo o espaço circundante. Evocando uma dimensão simbólica do culto solar, a instalação explora a luz enquanto fenómeno físico e presença imaterial.

Este trabalho foi desenvolvido no âmbito do programa de criação e investigação Reflexo de Adorar, para a exposição “Estado de Espírito” que reuniu um conjunto abrangente da nossa obra no espaço da Galeria Municipal do Porto, entre novembro de 2025 e fevereiro de 2026.

Adoração ao Sol, 2025
Instalação, dimensões variáveis, 14 painéis de seda tingida e pintada à mão (180 x 120 cm cada), desenhos de luz projetados, espelhos, lanternas mágicas

Sun Worship is an installation composed of fourteen hand-dyed and hand-painted silk panels, suspended and backlit by luminous forms evoking a solar disc in motion, establishing a relationship between image, matter, and the architecture of the exhibition space.

Through a combination of light and colour projected by magic lanterns and mirrors, semicircular forms unfold across the panels, extending beyond the translucent surfaces and into the surrounding space. Evoking the symbolic dimension of the worship of the sun, the installation explores light as both a physical phenomenon and an immaterial presence.

This work was developed as part of the To Adore Reflex creation and research programme for the exhibition “State of Spirit“, which brought together a broad selection of our work at Galeria Municipal do Porto, from November 2025 to February 2026.

Sun Worship, 2025
Installation, variable dimensions, 14 hand-dyed and hand-painted silk panels (180 x 120cm each), projected light drawings, mirrors, magic lanterns
