In her first solo exhibition in Portugal, Frida Orupabo revisits the vast image archive she has been assembling on her Instagram account: a collection comprising material from colonial archives, ethnographic photographs, family portraits, pop culture icons, and digital fragments. For the artist, this archive lays bare the tensions between intimacy and violence, establishing a critical and emotional space. Inspired by digital flow, the exhibition emphasises the \u201cabyss\u201d of images\u2014their strangeness and their dispersed reverberations.<\/p>\n
In dialogue with the architecture of MAC\/CCB, the show unfolds as a linear sequence of eight moments, echoing the continuous sliding between screens that defines our digital experience. Its title evokes both the digital cloud where images and data are stored, and the mist of information, memory, and oblivion it produces.<\/p>\n
