Marco Godinho

Marco Godinho’s approach leads him, with a certain economy of means, to use various media as active environments, installations, performative gestures, videos, sound pieces, drawings, sculptures, photographs as well as his writings, collaborative works, typographic compositions, artist books and scenography. Influenced by literature, poetry, philosophy, and nourished by a life punctuated by continuous displacements marked by diversity—whether social or cultural—Marco Godinho’s work offers a reflection on questions of exile, hospitality, geography, immigration, and is often the result of encounters with the living, between everyday objects and language elements. As he likes to define himself, a «nomadic traveler», he outlines the contours of a map of a world shaped by personal, biographical, and multicultural trajectories, intended to question us about our perception of the space and time in which we live.
