Francisco Corrêa: Mike Tyson’s Worst Nightmare

Francisco Corrêa presents an installation that is both the last memory of a life and the first gesture of a narrative yet to be assembled. At its center, pigeons and arrows draw a suspended instant, like a game stopped mid-play. The scene does not move but pulses with the tension of an unfulfilled outcome. The viewer, arriving without warning, becomes a mute witness to this fragment—a frozen memory that no longer belongs to them but summons them.

This work is part of a broader project that will find its complete form at the Centro Cultural Raiano in Idanha-a-Nova, developed in partnership between the two institutions. Curated by Sofia Medeiros and Tomás Longo, the installation explores what Ana Pérez-Quiroga calls "post-trauma": the empathy that makes us feel the pain of someone we do not know, mediated by objects that carry the life of a stranger. It is a territory of suspended emotion and quiet reflection.

Held at Livraria Zé dos Bois in Lisbon, the exhibition runs from Monday to Saturday, inviting visitors to step into a contemplative space where art and memory intertwine. The atmosphere is intimate and thought-provoking, ideal for those seeking a deep, personal encounter with contemporary installation art.
