Atmospheric Diary

2021.10.02 Sala 4 Diario Atmosferico

“Atmospheric” is the property of that which is gaseous or which expresses the concept of steam.

Over recent months, in which the pandemic has heightened our alertness about the world, Virgínia Mota (Matosinhos, 1976) opened up notebooks in which she painted images and then posted the contents of the pages on her Instagram account. Day by day, we saw the emergence of new worlds and ways of seeing worlds, through her coloured and round images.


Mountains, rivers, vegetation, clouds, rain, sea… an infinite conjugation of verbs, memories and affections. In the museum, the experience of the respective images takes the form of a diary that is distributed on the horizontal plane of the shelves, thereby accentuating a continuum between the time of the exhibition and that of the experience. In this manner, each page of this diary awakens the appearance of a form, and each form freely inspires the imagination. To divert attention to the atmosphere, the clouds and the gaseous state of affairs in the world is, in fact, a kind of pedagogical approach where interpretation is superseded by the undisciplined activity of daydreaming and wandering.
