Concept, artistic direction and creation: João Bento
Support to the making of the ice object: Maurício Martins (MILL - Makers In Little Lisbon)
With “DeGelo – Diamante Bruto”, João Bento wants to give voice to a pressing cause; the preservation of the planet through awareness of the importance of water. The piece, dynamic and fluid, wants to convey sensations and emotions associated with the natural phenomenon of the thawing of ice, by proposing a multisensory experience. An organism in transformation.
