Her films, videos, installations, and performances explore the pervious boundary between the moving image and its reception by audiences. Skirting the limits between fictional narrative, documentary, and experimental film, they address past specters of Portugal and its former colonies, challenging the production mechanisms of history. She exhibited at Tate Modern, London (2007), 29th Bienal de São Paulo (2010), and Khiasma, Paris (2011, 2013, and 2015). She lives in Berlin.
