Lara Portela
Lara is a visual artist living in Lisbon. She did her studies in Visual Arts and is currently enrolled in a Master of Museology. Her artistic practice, between the visual and the performative arts, is triggered by archives and collections, either personal or otherwise, where narratives, originally dispersed, are bound into the same context or thread. With a focus on images and objects, its appropriation, deconstruction and re-creation, she relates layers of memory, history, time, space, and data classification and organization, looking for the lines between presence and absence, interior and exterior, public and private, history and everyday life, creating objects ranging from drawing to performance, from writing to installation, from photography to painting.
