13 Shots brings together a body of work that explores several aspects of individual, social, and political memory. Through performative exercises co-created by the artist and the Group in the Museum’s Multipurpose Room, the intergenerational transmission of the Carnation Revolution and the photographic archive of Gulbenkian become material for enquiring how memory is passed on through vernacular stories, images, gaps, and silences that are reproduced, filled, and reimagined collectively. Rather than trying to decipher the past or resolve the present, Aimée Zito Lema’s work attempts to render visible the complexity of the processes by which memory is transmitted and materialized through different media, images, layers, and gestures of both conflict and conviviality.
