A photograph of a corridor used as storing place of ancient furniture, roped off to the public, taken at the National Palace of Sintra.

This photograph was taken at the workplace and in working hours, while the artist was working at the palace as an exhibition assistant. Creating art while at work was a means of subverting the basic utilitarian and functional aspects of the job and, in a utopian alternative, to conquer a space of liberty.

The task that the artist had to perform, recorded in the title, is off-camera. The new objective is to shed light on a past that was concealed, forgotten, covered up - on stuff of the past that was deemed interesting enough to be kept, but not to be exhibited. This photograph is to be accompanied by the following text:

“In that moment I understood that it was all valuable enough to be kept, but not to be displayed.”
