Echo Chambers, 2025 Eight industrial reliquaries stand as silent arbiters of cultural memory. Constructed from demolition bricks and sealed between glass, these capsules hold the unmediated evidence of exchange: loose tea leaves settling into their final repose, temple incense ashes carrying the scent of devotion, porcelain shards preserving their fractures, oyster shells returning to mineral silence. No preservation, no interpretation- only the persistent materiality of objects that have outlived their historical moments. The glass serves as both barrier and indictment. As viewers peer in, their reflections become enmeshed with the artifacts-complicit observers in an ongoing trial of memory. These are not displays but evidentiary chambers, where materials testify to histories that institutions have failed to preserve. The bricks, once part of homes, now frame the remnants of cultural encounters they were meant to contain. Becoming their own homes, own residency. Salvaged bricks (demolished Hutongs); One-way mirrors; Tea leaves (unprocessed, loose); Templeincense ash; Porcelain shards; Oyster shells (found, unaltered); Galvanized steel rods; Rubber;Silicone; Total installation lenght: 510x490×200mm 被膜——迴聲室 • 2025 廢棄磚（從胡同拆除）、單向鏡、茶葉（散裝未加工）、寺廟香灰、瓷器碎 片、生蠔殼(現成)、錦鋼棒、橡膠、矽膠 510（高H)x490（寬W)× 200（長L）毫米mm taken in Casa Garden by @studioscarva

Muros do Cerco or Walls of the Encirclement (mark 1) (Pinhole photography) ______________________________________________ “Muros do Cerco” (Walls of the Encirclement) is an interpretation of all the invisible and visible walls that surround and define the small territory of this city/state. By printing its characters onto the pieces that make this wall, we not only get an experimental medium to present a photograph, but the idea of the many generating the whole. The pieces that make a culture, a community. The photographic process used in this project, comprises of long exposure Pinhole street photography, part of the collection “Temporary Bodies”, applied by emulsion liquid on wood blocks that connect with each other. An iconic landmark of Macao’s history receives an addition to its missing parts. CONTEXT Portas do Cerco (or Barrier Gate), defines the line that separated old colonial Macao peninsula from the mainland of China. As an obsolete object of control, this iconic piece is the sole standing part of an entire wall of the old encirclement or siege of the city. Also reminding us of how it all started, as a small military camp coexisting with a fishing village. _______________________________________________ Pine wood, polypropylene webbing, transfer chemical, pinhole analog photo 75x50x25cm Macau 2024 ®️Muros do Cerco ®️Temporary Bodies taken in Macau by @studioscarva

RELEASE THE MASSES! ( Carte de Visite - The Non-Identity Chapter ) ——————————————————————————— FACE VALUE There was a time when your identity was your verbal word on what you were and what you did; afterwords your written name on a piece of paper was enough to represent you. Even later, an intemporal method was applied; the unique tinted fingerprint. Nevertheless, it was the burned silver minerals on a sheet of treated glass that changed the entire way of identifying oneself. Thus, the photograph presented to everyone the real you, undoubtedly. The face - your face, your identity - is today not only traceable trough cameras but also identified and evaluated with imagined scores by electro-digital systems behind every single lens that capture us daily; an uneasiness dealt by each one of us. The carte-de-visite was once, during the 1800’s, a way of presenting yourself to others. Your picture on a small piece of cardboard underlined by your name and profession. Simple identification. So next time you could remember that special visitor. CARTE DE VISITE is an introduction. We from Macau show our selfs; yet unidentifiable. Present yet Unknown. After spending around a year roaming around Macau taking daily pictures of people, I exercised a method of capturing random portraits of their back, in a sensible and interesting way, presenting themselves from behind instead of showing their faces. Without invading the subjects privacy, I could collect a large number of bodies, human presence, that can now be accumulated into a presentation and in the shape of a Carte de Visite, they can present them selfs to the public as a synthetic group from Macau, as a single population, the anonymous citizens of the city. —————————————————————————— Fine-Art photo print on Plexiglass, tin nails and graphite. 210x180x3cm 2021/22 ®️The People Project Macau, China #contemporary #sculpture #piece #instalation #project #monumental #work #art #finearts #thepeople #concept #acrylic #sculptureart #sculptureartist #sculptureoftheday #eloiscarva #eloiscarvaart #unviewedvisuals #keepworking #artlife #heraclitus #displacing #replacing #portugueseartist taken in Macao, China by @studioscarva

ON EARTH On an exercise towards my roots, I traveled back to my family’s home town in the north of Portugal and visited the Brazilian Colonial-style house built by my great-great grandfather, who was called “The Tall” or “The Brazilian”, relating to his uncommon height for the time and the misconception that he was born in the Americas, a mith that grew since he spent more time there than Europe. In the now abandoned potato field I engraved a Greek Cross, where then became a deep path for the connecting boxes to move a long, by human force.

DISPLACING/REPLACING OF A RIVER In collaboration with artist @carlotatgomes A tribute to a forgotten river and a reflection on time and space. The town of Alte, South of Portugal, had one of its main rivers dried from the source by industry. In a simple exercise of memory, we carried through the valley that surrounds the town, our version of a river, who appeared and disappeared in a performance/installation that only the inhabitants and who ever was there on that day could witness. “No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man.” - Heraclitus 80m Deep Blue 90% Polyester 10% Spandex Cloth 2015 Alte, South of Portugal #contemporary #sculpture #piece #instalation #project #monumental #work #art #finearts #river #concept #cloth #sculptureart #sculptureartist #sculptureoftheday #eloiscarva #eloiscarvaart #unviewedvisuals #keepworking #artlife #heraclitus #displacing #replacing taken in Alte, Faro, Portugal by @studioscarva
