Manoel de Oliveira – Exposição Permanente will be on display until June 25, 2020, at the Casa do Cinema (a project by architect Álvaro Siza Vieira), in Serralves, Oporto. The exhibition presents two different approaches to Manoel de Oliveira’s cinematic work. An interactive video wall takes the visitor on a journey through the director’s overall work. Chronologically organised, different documentation clusters are presented, related to each of the titles in Oliveira’s filmography. A second display, composed of five simultaneous and synchronised projections, tests the possibilities of presenting cinematographic materials in an expository context. The spatialization of the images promotes a confrontation between planes and sequences that aims to explore approximations, resonances between different moments of the same film and, in this way, to clarify some of the formal particular characteristics of the director’s filmmaking. This exhibition also intends to be dynamic, as it will be permanently reconfigured.
