Biography
Pedro Cabrita Reis (born 1956) Lives and works in Lisbon.
“He employs seemingly impoverished objects to create architectural, material ensembles with actual interiors. At the same time however, on an abstract level, these are tied to archetypes and their placement in a poetic, metaphorical, ambiguous sphere is clearly intentional.”
Lóránd Hegyi, PEDRO CABRITA REIS SIGHTLESS CITIES – PERIPHERY EXPERIENCES IN THE LABYRINTH OF DESERTED ROOMS, Passage International, Chelouche Gallery, Tel Aviv, 2000
