biography
Pedro understands spaces of intimacy as ‘iridescent bodies’. These spaces are assembled in-between the familiar and the stranger - vulnerable, dependent, fragmented and multiple. Pedro’s performative methodologies explore the potentiality and vitality of matter, bodies and their agency.
The question of how can a space be iridescent in its identity, submerges Pedro’s current investigation of materiality and space. They said: ‘I’ was never an island
Pedro Matias’ (Lisbon, Portugal, 1984) They said: ‘I’ was never an island is a colorful installation bathing in pink light. The bright and fluorescent colors are at the same time candy-like, dystopian and other-worldly. To enter Matias’ installation is a psychedelic experience: “From far, all islands are skin and bones. When too far from sustainable, we
break and fall. we break, and fall we break and fall. Look, there is no need to avoid thinking. To
surrender into the soft matter until we have no shape. Slow sun rises. Eternal sunsets.” said Matias. SHARE
