It Lasts Forever is a photography exhibition and video installation project by Portuguese photographer and filmmaker Edgar Morais. It comprises landscapes, full-body portraits and private video footage from different subjects taken in Portugal, France, Albania and the USA from the years 2012-2023.
The exhibit had its inaugural opening at Casa Do Comum in Lisbon, Portugal in March of 2024. It Lasts Forever was invited to be shown at FEST[1] in Espinho, Portugal.
Reception
[edit]For its second public exhibition that took place in Espinho, Portugal, in July 2024 at FEST New Directors New Films Festival and expanding on its theme "private made public" the artist recreated a public toilet inside a dark room that was strategically built to be hidden from view and security cameras, inviting the guests to use the space and contribute to its condition however they saw fit, revealing to the public the room's growing worsening degradation state over the course of the exhibit as people glued gum to the walls, wrote offensive writings on the walls, spat and left used condoms, cigarette butts, and soiled tissues in the space.
The exhibit was critically praised, with Diário de Notícias writing: “A notable exhibit. An experience about intimacy, and a wild breath of youth. A perspective that evokes and challenges the spirit of Nan Goldin as well as a naked exploration of California’s culture.[2]"
