In RedSkyFalls, the mountainous landscape of a computer desktop serves as a habitat for aquatic plants and small luminous organisms, the Réplicas, nestled inside the grooves of aluminium plates.

When the red sky falls, paradigms shift between divine providence, science as credo, data as oracle, and new obscurantist myths. Seismographs register these sideways movements, as humanity inscribes environmental and social fracture lines into the Earth’s crust. Tectonic manifestations open fissures, not only in the ground but also in thought. 

RedSkyFalls proposes a way of experiencing these ruptures by observing a system that responds, in real time, to near and distant events of geophysical scale, with pre-digital sensibility.

RedSkyFalls by Alexandre Estrela will represent Portugal at the 61st International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia. Curated by Ana Baliza and Ricardo Nicolau, it will be held from May 9 to November 22, 2026.

The project was selected for the Biennale Arte 2026, structured “In Minor Keys,” as it resonates with the piece’s quieter registers.
