At the back of the gallery, bathed in red light, a silver reliquary bust conceals a miniature diorama visible only through a peephole. The scene, set in a decaying industrial zone, contrasts with the reliquary’s exterior, which writhes with barbed appendages, tentacles, and crab-like extrusions capped by lamb’s hooves. In Oliveira’s work, tentacles function as counter-appendages that reject the singular dominance of the eye or the hand, embodying a mode of sensing and thinking through touch, groping, brushing, and probing. 🔴
