Um Click Por ELA Exhibition 2017

14/11/2017 by João Sousa in Architecture

This photography exhibition project had three main premises: each individual structure had to be resistant and easy enough to be assembled in several occasions and different places; it had to be self sustained and mobile; and had to be light and visually permeable in order to easily perceive the location of the photographs.

The motto for this exhibition was to make people aware of ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis – ELA in portuguese) disease. The selected pictures were the result of a photograph competition from different photographers.
It was conceived starting from the simplest form of a tree: trunk and branches as slim elegant strips of plywood, slightly twisted, united by coloured rings. The photographs were then sustained from these branches, like leaves, arranged by thematic groups.

The whole structure was mounted on wheels to be moved around with no trouble and can be easily assembled, thanks to simple CNC milled slots.
