“Freedom is absolute in the relativity of time and space.” In this edition, Miguel Januário transforms the format of an eye chart into a layered reflection on perception — visual, political, and historical. As the letters shrink line by line, so does the idea of freedom itself, becoming increasingly narrow, distant, and harder to hold onto. Released on the occasion of 25 April, the anniversary of Portugal’s Carnation Revolution of 1974, the editions revisit the ideals of revolution through a lens of doubt and critical observation.These works are part of ±MaisMenos±, Januário’s long-standing project that uses minimalist language and bold contradictions to expose social and political paradoxes. Operating between public space, activism, and contemporary art, his practice turns language into a site of tension — and clarity into critique.The editions are available in two formats: a large, limited edition and a smaller open edition. When purchasing the large one, the smaller is included — a gesture of sharing and accessibility that reflects the artist’s belief in the circulation of ideas.
