The conceptual approach revolved around transparency and lightness, symbolizing the ethereal quality of poetry and history. We envisioned a scenography composed of transparent architectural elements that allowed visitors to navigate through layers of literature and historical context seamlessly. To achieve this, a lightweight metal framework was developed, covered with a continuous printed canvas. This canvas served both as an exhibition surface and as a visual metaphor for the fluidity and continuity of Camões’ literary influence.
The exhibition walls, embedded with showcases and niches, provided an intimate yet structured way to present rare books, manuscripts, and artistic interpretations of the poet. The transparent fabric not only softened the environment but also reinforced the installation’s conceptual narrative: a delicate balance between the past and present, tradition and modernity.
