‘That image or another, have lived there forever’. According to Sílvia Lopes, a witness of Vhils interventions on the walls of Sydney. ‘And be it nature or human nature that deal with this, but the deterioration of the work of art will happen, on the face sculptured on the stone or the face which supports it. One image will give way to another one, a process which is evolutionary or destructive, this depends on the perspective’, the photographer told P3. Vhils is not Vhils alone. It is a team. Vhils, ‘smoothly guiding’, is ‘is a sole engine which feeds the drills of the three stonemasons (as they call themselves, in a tone of parody)’. ‘Zoom in and out, dig and stand back in order to evaluate the result which is never final’. Sílvia felt the trepidation at Skalitzers, where the exhibition ‘Dissolve’ is on show until the 06 April. Then…Vhils remains. Portuguese version
