mariana madeiras studio ......faro

on feb 10 i arranged to visit mariannas studio in faro...we met outside the market....and set off for the studio....i had parked my jeep right outside...mariana put the key in the lock and pulled a huge roller door back to reveal an industrial sized interior....that was the ground floor....amazing....in the dim light...the smell of the pigeon shit hanging heavily in the air......up an iron staircase into a space that felt like an aircraft hanger........suddenly there was a flutter of wings...we had disturbed the resident birds...........there was a constant sound of dripping water....entering from openings in the roof.....lakes had been formed....the sound of traffic outside filtered its way into the echoing cavernous area.........as we walked across the floor towards one such lake ....there was something emerging or submerged in the water... a city made from motherboards in the shape of portugal... a possible city covering the whole country....the drama is intensified by the world that it occupies...it is a secret world......the shoppers unaware of what is going on in here....its an empty building...
