Retrospective monograph.
This catalogue provides an overview of João Onofre's production over the last 20 years and amply evidences his multidisciplinary practice. It illustrates the vitality of a production that activates a certain romantic irony, and is characterized as well by the great themes of art history: tension, death, failure, love, and, as a bond that unites everything, language.
