Born in Lisbon, lives and works in Lisbon and London.

A research project based on an experimental approach entitled “An impossible wardrobe for the invisible”, this experimental approach signifies here that all the experimental actions taking place in this project are actions where the outcome is not foreseen. Meaning that each piece is unique and can’t be repeated. Lara Torres present’s the recordings/documentation of seven performances in a video screening. The videos are based in the creation of temporary clothes that are produced with the aim of being destroyed. They refer to the lost of the object and the documentation of this loss. The action of effacing the clothes leaves a trace (the seams) translating a strong relation with memory and forgetfulness.
