Andreia Santana is the Winner of the prestigious NOVO BANCO REVELAÇÃO PRIZE 2016 which offers a young artist a solo show at the Serralves Museum of contemporary art in Porto (Pt) and a catalogue. The exhibition “History of the Fault” featured a new body of work exploring techniques and resources in danger of disappearing. The works were derived from images collected by the artist of manufactured archaeological tools in Portuguese factories. In her practice, Santana establishes a relationship between production methods considered anachronistic and a social science (archaeology) that will inevitably be devoted to the analysis of these modes of production, at a time when phenomena such as the dematerialization of image and objects is modifying our visual perception.
