“These models, which contain a certain surrealistic depth, point to an intercession between architecture and landscape like objects which propose an imaginary experience within itself. Such is the case with Amphitheater in Two Acts, in which the idea of the work intervenes to the point that the model is made for a performance which mirrors ordinary life. In Amphitheater in Two Acts, we, the public, are the work, the space inhabited and reflected in the mirror. In the intermezzo between reality and its reading, between the object and its meaning, a temporal latency may be found. And we are always part of this doubly created, re-dimensioned landscape. We place ourselves in it and outside it. Eduardo Coimbra’s models are limitary; as accomplices, they show us how we can both inhabit and see them.” (Adolfo Montejo Navas)
