NΕΦΈΛΑΙ, NUVENS (2024) is a video performance captured through screen recording. The footage depicts the operation of the Google Translate app as the artist leafs through a miniature version of the classic work Nεφέλαι (423 BC), written by Aristophanes, considered the first comedy author in Greek theater. The text is simultaneously translated from Greek to Portuguese while the words float like clouds between the hands that move across the pages.
