“Luminous Shadow” is a short-film born of an artistic residency process, developed in proximity with the collection and the curatorial prism of the International Arts Center José de Guimarães.
Through the manipulation of images and sounds from exhibitions, catalogs and conversations, that took place in the Center’s space, an experimental and mediumistic language is assembled, seeking to establish a recombination of times, contexts and origins.

“Afer their cartography of brain convolutions in “The Mesh and the Circle”, Caló and Queimadela, wander the paths of the artistic thought. The film starts by relating an object to its photograph. From then on we lose ourselves in a labyrinth of representations that operate towards exposure (from the obscure). A re-signifcation of the museum space where unique connections are intertwined with José Gil’s philoshophy. Art as the empire of becoming.”
