Exhibition | THE OVERVIEW EFFECT | Lisbon
From October 11th to 14th, 2021, SUSPENSO hosted THE OVERVIEW EFFECT, exhibiting a selection of internationally renowned artists and designers unique to Lisbon.
​
Vincent Chicha, Sophie Civet Burrus, Michael Wagner and Georges Zorgbibe came together to make this mythical place shine through their common passions: art, design, sharing and celebration.
​
This exhibition was an opportunity to introduce contemporary art (paintings, sculptures, digital art, high quality decorative pieces, etc.) to amateurs and the curious for free.
​
In order for the little artists to stimulate their creativity, the children were able to participate in art workshops.
THE OVERVIEW EFFECT
The overview effect is a cognitive shift in awareness reported by some astronauts during spaceflight, often while viewing the Earth from outer space.
​
It is the experience of seeing firsthand the reality of the Earth in space, which is immediately understood to be a tiny, fragile ball of life, "hanging in the void", shielded and nourished by a paper-thin atmosphere. From space, national boundaries vanish, the conflicts that divide people become less important, and the need to create a planetary society with the united will to protect this "pale blue dot" becomes both obvious and imperative.
