Fernanda Fragateiro’s projects are characterized by a strong interest in rethinking and probing modernist practices. Her practice involves an archaeological approach to the social, political and aesthetic history of modernism through continuous research with material from archives, documents and objects.
Acting in the field of three-dimensionality, challenging the tension between architecture and sculpture, Fernanda Fragateiro’s work enhances the relationship with each place, calling the spectator to a performative position. Her minimal sculptural and architectural interventions and installations in unexpected spaces (a monastery, an orphanage, or dilapidated houses) and her subtle changes to existing landscapes reveal buried stories of construction and transformation.

Les projets de Fernanda Fragateiro se caractérisent par un intérêt marqué pour la remise en question des principes modernistes. Sa pratique implique une approche archéologique de l’histoire sociale, politique et esthétique du modernisme par le biais d’une recherche continue à partir d’archives, de documents et d’objets.
Agissant dans le domaine de la tridimensionnalité, remettant en question la tension entre l’architecture et la sculpture, le travail de Fernanda Fragateiro renforce la relation avec chaque lieu, appelant le spectateur à une position performative. Ses interventions et installations sculpturales et architecturales minimales dans des espaces inattendus (un monastère, un orphelinat ou des maisons délabrées) et ses modifications subtiles de paysages existants révèlent des histoires enfouies de construction et de transformation.
