What is Unspoken

Catalogue designed for Portuguese transdisciplinary artist Tatiana Macedo. A book as layered as the practice itself.

Developed in close collaboration with the artist, the book accompanies the exhibition at Künstlerhaus Bethanien in Berlin. Macedo’s practice spans installation, photography, cinema, and sound, and consistently returns to questions of memory, identity, migration, and how institutions shape human perception.

The book is structured in three parts: critical essays on the core themes of her work; a selection from her photographic archive – an ongoing visual diary built in parallel to her major projects; and a conversation between Macedo and curator Emanuele Guidi tracing how the exhibition took shape during her residency. The desgin of the book was conceived to hold these three distinct registers – critical, personal, dialogic – without flattening them into a single tone.
