AN ASININE TALE
\nAn artistic investigation by Lu\u00eds Costa<\/p>\n

May and June 2025
\nCastro Daire (Viseu D\u00e3o Laf\u00f5es, Portugal) and Villalcampo (Zamora, Spain)<\/p>\n

In \u2018An Asinine Tale\u2019, the author imagined an encounter between two donkeys. One came from the mountains of Viseu D\u00e3o Laf\u00f5es, in Portugal, and the other from the plains of Zamora, in Spain. Although separated by borders, both shared a silent, ancestral wisdom, inhabiting landscapes marked by the discreet yet enduring presence of donkeys \u2014 animals long marginalised, yet essential to rural life.<\/p>\n

The work explored how the animals perceived the territory, not as property, but as an extension of their bodies and their memory in motion. \u201cAn Asinine Tale\u201d paid a poetic tribute to radical otherness and communication between species, inviting the viewer to see the world through the slow, attentive gaze of those who listen and remember as they move.<\/p>\n

Produced by Binaural Nodar, the project formed part of the author\u2019s doctoral research at ID+ (University of Aveiro) and LiDA (ESAD, Caldas da Rainha), with the support of AEPGA and Rede Tramontana, and co-funded by the Creative Europe programme.<\/p>\n
