Juju Bento lives in an international landscape while working with spatiality. Born in the traditional Portuguese countryside in an engineer's family, her work explores installation. Derived from phenomenology and perception, bodily archives are translated into atmospheres through sculpture, sound, and performance.
1999, Abrantes, Portugal
