This project is about the construction Portugal’s identity – identities, iconographies, codes, symbolic rhetoric from the Estado Novo era up to the democratic present: the geographical sphere, marked by a pattern; the percentage changes of a curve on a Cartesian plane intended to make explicit the properties of a function; history sold as deceptive advertising, lost in an email spam folder, historical lies reduced to electronic rubbish. National monuments of patriotic incontinence! Political identity, touristic identity, international identity: "Portugal is not a small Country".
