SPIRITUAL x MATERIAL

What better territory for this confrontation than our daily circulation space, namely, the Chiado area?

This is an emblematic place for various reasons, near the Bairro Alto, with the river peeking occasionally at the end of the streets, a cosmopolitan universe of consumption, an anxious dynamic in various accents and languages, bookstores, high fashion shops, cafes, theatres, churches...

This segment of the city deserves special attention, not only for it's global importance in the urban, social, cultural and historical structure, but also because here coexist, with singular density and relevance, the temples of religion and consumption: tendencially spiritual and material.
