Ergoterapia is the result of a two-week sojourn in a Lisbon psychiatric hospital when I had to spend my days in the art space installing an exhibition of my work and other artists, as part of a group show I was curating there. I crossed the parks everyday, meeting hospital residents, therapists, gardeners and visitors. I also researched the library and the museum, and engaged in conversations with the archivists and chief gardeners. From these encounters and dialogues developed an elliptical narrative about the historical development and contemporary forms of occupational and creative therapies in the hospital.

Acerca del creador
paula is a photographer, and in her practice interweaves her own photography with orphan photographs, found objects and archival research to draw links between experiences of contemplative photography and synchronicity in everyday life. She is also Senior Lecturer in Art Photography and Photobook Publishing in the School of Arts and Creative Industries at the London South Bank University, and a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy. paula created msdm —the acronym for mobile strategies of display & mediation—as a nomadic project space for artistic and curatorial experimentation, social publishing and shared learning experience. Since 2015 the msdm project has been focused on developing a live-work method articulated around the model of house—studio—gallery, a project space with its own imprint: msdm publications— a micro-publishing platform encompassing photographic and book art processes.
