Pedro Léger Pereira's sculptures photographed by Fernando Guerra

Pedro Léger Pereira studies the relationship between space and time, and while the fourth dimension may not be measurable with Cartesian coordinates, Fernando Guerra's images restore to us the essence of motion in the exhibition space of the Gallery at the Faculty of Fine Arts of Lisbon University, where the exhibition distância(s) distance(s) curated by Jørgen Blitzner and José Esteves was held until March 4.

The architect/artist breaks the rules in his wooden sculptures, the product of meticulous research into distance, space and time.

Curator Jørgen Blitzner calls Pedro Léger Pereira's sculptures “spatial structures” to which onlookers assign a meaning according to their position in space. Through his lens, photographer Fernando Guerra offers us an image of the work as it appears from a specific point of view, and immediately afterwards offers a reverse shot or a zoomed-in or zoomed-out vision of it or of the whole which solves the mystery and allows us to understand the sculpture's true geometric nature.
