Descripción de la Exposición
Stickers commonly used in sensitive packaging - „fragile“, „toxic“, „this side up“ - populate the eminently self-referential imaginary of Nuno Fonseca, centred on the ideias of family, of self-development and of concern for the fragility of the present moment and its future.
