The title Uma linha, ou duas (2010) means “one line, or two”. A red line on the wall dissolves into an orange one, moving out towards and joining the other works along the walls of the gallery. Carta a um jovem poeta (2004) is composed of cut-out letters from handwritten letters, postcards and notebooks, which have been glued together in the exact word order from the first letter of Rainer Maria Rilke’s book Letters to a Young Poet. The pages have been written by 62 different hands during a period of 99 years.
