Installation artists in Portugal

An installation organises an experience in space. It may bring together objects, light, sound, image and architectural elements, creating a situation visitors move through rather than observe from a single fixed point.

How to explore this discipline

Photographic documentation helps us understand an installation but cannot replace scale, duration and presence. Consider how the work directs movement, frames its location and establishes relationships between separate elements.

Explore sculpture, sound, video and public art too. Installation is often a meeting point between disciplines and between a work and the architecture that receives it.
