For the second segment of the three channel video project Symphony of the Unknown - part II, I am shooting inside the museum, the library and the Hejduk Towers of Galicia’s deserted City of Culture in Santiago de Compostela. This ambitious, gigantic, six-building project, was commissioned in 1999 to the architect Peter Eisenman. Twenty years later, two of its buildings remain unbuilt. The Lisbon-based architect, writer and curator Susana Ventura is writing the script for the voice over and the essay for the accompanying publication.

Uma encomenda da Direção-Geral do Património Cultural (DGPC) para a produção de um ensaio visual sobre o conjunto monástico - a igreja manuelina, o Claustro quinhentista, o antigo Refeitório; e um outro sobre a Torre de Belém.

For the second episode of the Symphony of the Unknown, I start shooting the first segment of the three channel video project at the Torre do Tombo. The National Portuguese Archive in Lisbon was designed by Arsénio Cordeiro, and inaugurated in 1990. A fortress to act as a guardian of a collective memory. The upper two of the seven floors shelter more than 140 kilometres of shelves for the archival holdings. I invited the Porto-based architect and curator Joaquim Moreno to come up with the voice over and essay for the publication.
