Corpúsculo is a transdisciplinary artistic creation that intersects landscape-architecture, music, and dance. Commissioned by the Direção Regional de Cultura do Norte (Nortear project), this work was inspired by the short story Nós, Arquipélago by Rui Cerqueira Coelho, with performances held at the Monastery of Santa Maria das Júnias (Portugal) and the Castro de Santa Tecla (Spain). This project resulted in a unique editorial format designed to be, in itself, an "object of performance."
In this work, I was responsible for the layout design (diagramação) of the book, as well as the photography and video documentation. The editorial challenge was to create a multiform piece that invites the reader to navigate between physical and digital environments. By handling the book, the viewer articulates visual and sonic fragments to reconstruct imagined journeys through these historical sites. My design process focused on translating the performative intent of the artists into a tangible, interactive object, where the arrangement of images and metadata serves as a sensory guide for the "percurso" (journey) proposed by the creators.
