HALFSTUDIO created two new artworks at STRAAT Museum 👏
Outside the museum entrance, the artwork “TRUTH” only reveals itself from one exact viewpoint. Move around it, and the word falls apart. “In a time when reality can be twisted from every side, things can seem contradictory, confusing, impossible to read. And yet, truth exists.” - HALFSTUDIO
For our main collection, the artwork “IT’S ALL OF US” brings a different perspective. It questions the idea that we’re separate from what’s happening around us. What we do, say, ignore, or support doesn’t stop with us. It shapes the world we share.

TRUTH
More views of our anamorphic floor mural for @straatmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
We live in a world where truth is constantly under pressure. Some truths are hidden, buried under layers of manipulation. Others are rising, being discovered and revealed.
The letters overlap and emerge from the ground in a way that makes it unclear whether the word is being buried or rising. Only from a single point of view does it appear whole and undistorted.
In a time when reality can be twisted from every side, things can feel contradictory, confusing, impossible to read. And yet, truth exists. To see it clearly, we need to find the right perspective.
Grateful to the STRAAT team for all the care throughout the production ✌️❤️

Artwork created during the ARTURB residency at @lac.org.pt, as part of “À MARGEM • ON THE MARGINS”, an installation inside a former solitary confinement cell.
This installation brings together objects that have been discarded, abandoned or set aside. We painted words and phrases on them about people who are also pushed to the margins. People who have been displaced, denied a place or access to rights, opportunities and recognition.

À MARGEM • ON THE MARGINS
Installation created inside a former solitary confinement cell at @lac.org.pt during the ARTURB residency.
This installation brings together objects that have been discarded, abandoned or set aside. We painted words and phrases on them about people who are also pushed to the margins. People who have been displaced, denied a place or access to rights, opportunities and recognition.
Some people live in a city for years and are still treated as foreigners. Others work to keep it running but cannot afford a home there. Some are seen every day and rarely heard.
Being on the margins implies that there is a centre and someone who decides who is left out. We are concerned with that exclusion, the indifference that allows it to continue, and our responsibility towards those affected.
A huge thank you to the curators @tamara_aalves and @fitijane, the whole LAC team and all the artists for the amazing time in Lagos ❤️

ARTURb Artist Residency
@lac.org.pt Lagos, Portugal 2026
(english below )
Alguns momentos das duas semanas que passámos em Lagos, na residência ARTURb, no @lac.org.pt
O melhor desta experiência foi ter tempo, espaço e total liberdade para criar, com uma equipa incrível que nos deu todas as condições para trabalhar. E partilhar o mesmo espaço com os outros artistas tornou tudo ainda melhor. Cada um a desenvolver o seu trabalho individual, mas sempre com conversas, trocas de ideias e muitas gargalhadas pelo meio. ❤️
Desta vez fui só eu (Emanuel), já que a Mariana está na reta final da nossa segunda gravidez. Mesmo à distância, continuámos a trabalhar juntos todos os dias, como sempre. 🐣
Foram duas semanas de muito trabalho, novas amizades e momentos que vamos guardar com carinho.
Um grande obrigado às curadoras @tamara_aalves e @fitijane, a toda a equipa do LAC e aos artistas com quem partilhei estes dias. ❤️

A few moments from our two weeks in Lagos at the ARTURb artist residency at @lac.org.pt
The best part was having the time, space and complete creative freedom to work, with an amazing team making sure we had everything we needed. Sharing the same workspace with the other artists made it even better. Everyone developing their own work, with conversations, shared ideas and lots of laughs along the way.❤️
This time it was just me (Emanuel), as Mariana is in the final weeks of our second pregnancy. Even from a distance, we kept working together every day, as we always do. 🐣
Two weeks of hard work, new friendships and moments we’ll remember fondly.
A huge thank you to the curators @tamara_aalves and @fitijane, the whole LAC team and all the artists I shared these days with. ❤️

INSISTO NÃO SER TRISTEZA
(English below)
Na antiga Escola Afonso Domingues, o campo de futebol volta a ser ocupado.
Pintámos o verso “Insisto não ser tristeza”, de Zeca Afonso. A frase fala de uma recusa da tristeza. Não de fingir que ela não existe, mas de não a aceitar como um estado permanente. Insistir em não ser tristeza é uma forma de resistência e uma escolha de continuar, mesmo perante as dificuldades. É uma ideia que sentimos particularmente próxima dos tempos que vivemos.
As palavras distribuem-se pelo campo como jogadores em movimento, ocupando diferentes posições e criando uma composição onde se cruzam jogo, movimento e linguagem. A sua presença fala também da necessidade de insistir em ocupar, criar e não deixar que um espaço fique parado.

I INSIST ON NOT BEING SADNESS
At the former Afonso Domingues School, the football pitch is occupied once again.
We painted the line “Insisto não ser tristeza (I insist on not being sadness)”, by Zeca Afonso. The words speak of a refusal of sadness. Not of pretending it doesn’t exist, but of refusing to accept it as a permanent state. Insisting on not being sadness becomes a form of resistance and a choice to keep going, even in the face of difficulty. It is an idea that feels particularly close to us in the times we are living through.
The words spread across the pitch like players in motion, occupying different positions and creating a composition where play, movement and language come together. Their presence also speaks of the need to insist on occupying, creating and not allowing a space to remain still.
