"Nearly ten years have passed since the Troika imposed its austerity measures in Portugal, Greece and Ireland. The Arab Spring left a trail: Libya imploded, war still rages in Syria, and protest movements have broken out in Lebanon, Algiers, Iraq and Iran. In Hong Kong the Umbrella Revolution of 2014 cleared the way for a widespread rebellion in defence of the principle of one country, two systems. The Fukushima disaster continues to spawn inextricable environmental problems. Many key political figures of the period have left the scene. Gaspar is now seventeen and preparing for the national exams; the time has come for Gustavo's body to change from a child's to a young adult's. Two years have passed since Patrícia died." (David-Alexandre Guéniot, March 2020) The work was originally published in 2015 as a large collective object to look at with others; this version has grown smaller and more reserved, and brings out a one-to-one relation.
