Lucid Dreams of a Static Beast surge de um estado instável e liminar de luto, onde a consciência absoluta da oposição entre a vida e a morte é continuamente revisitada. No entanto, as suas contradições permanecem sem resolução, e todas as tentativas de as reconciliar estão condenadas ao fracasso.
As imagens exploram um espaço mental assombrado dentro de um corpo com o coração partido, encenando uma forma de exorcismo — um ritual que busca um encontro alucinatório com o falecido. O objetivo final é transformar o luto do espírito de "estático a fluído", um processo marcado pela oscilação constante entre separação e assimilação, luz e sombra, cura e trauma, superação e integração.
• Svenja Tiger é artista visual e figurinista. Nasceu em Berlim e vive no Porto. Na sua prática artística explora mundos liminares que emergem da fantasia pessoal, da ficção coletiva e de contos folclóricos, com a intenção de criar conexões e quebrar distinções invisíveis entre uma coisa e outra, entre um ser e outro, entre vida e morte, animal e humano, terrestre e cósmico, visível e inefável. Através disso, ela revela experiências e imaginários poéticos.

MUPI Gallery is a dedicated image gallery that was inaugurated in May 2015 in the foyer of the performance hall at Maus Hábitos. Since then, it has been hosting a diverse program of individual exhibitions by local and international artists in different states of emergence.
The primary objectives of Mupi Gallery are to support the creation of new works and visual experiences while promoting the artistic journey of the invited artists. It challenges them to present a new solo artwork that takes advantage of the unique characteristics and prominent display format. Additionally, it aims to showcase the national contemporary art scene by introducing the solid work of local artists as well as emerging names in the visual arts.
As a gallery dedicated to individual exhibitions, Mupi Gallery complements the artistic programming of Saco Azul/Maus Hábitos. It provides a contrast to the exhibition hall's program, which focuses on artistic encounters and dialogue through collective and crossover exhibitions.
Saco Azul invites one artist per month to occupy the backlit triptych, promoting the creation of works that utilize images as a means of contemporary artistic expression. Through production grants, it affirms or questions the role of images in the present day. Comprising three urban advertising communication Mupis provided by JcDecaux to Maus Hábitos, this gallery is not only interesting for its physical characteristics but also for its cultural impact and inherent commercial connotation. The artist is challenged to react or interact with this structure, embracing all its capabilities and connotations.
