Artist Yuli Yamagata presents the project Alô? (Hello?) at the Exhibition Hall of School of Arts (Católica Art Center), with the opening scheduled for October 9, at 6:30 p.m., and open to the public until December 13. The exhibition is co-produced by the School of Arts and Kunsthalle Lissabon, curated by Nuno Crespo, João Mourão, and Luís Silva.

In Alô?, Yamagata constructs a universe where strangeness, humor, and irony intersect in a visual and performative language. At the center of the exhibition is a new film created especially for the occasion, in which an apparently human figure questions whether their existence is not just the dream of a snail. Based on this fantastic narrative, the artist explores parallel realities and multiple versions of the self, leading the visitor on a journey that oscillates between the unusual and the everyday, the absurd and the logical.

The film is accompanied by a set of new sculptures, which expand the universe of the exhibition and deepen the dialogue between materiality, grotesqueness, and hybridity. These works feature exuberant and mutating forms that oscillate between seduction, discomfort, and repulsion, striking characteristics of Yamagata's visual poetics.

Alô? is the first part of a long-term project developed in partnership with Kunsthalle Lissabon in Lisbon, where the second part will be presented in 2026.
