Através (1983-1989) takes as a point of departure the child recollections of Cildo Meireles, a turning point from a moment when one could freely circulate between domestic spaces and the street, to the time when such spaces started to be surrounded by surveillance mechanisms – in the physical sense as much as in the psychological and ideological ones.

The artist makes use of everyday objects and materials to build a barrier – like grates, fences, and wires – so that, through a formal play with elements, the visitor can walk by this maze. The floor covered by shards of glass introduces the soundscape to the atmosphere of the work.
