"In Eastern Alentejo lie 300 historical sites known in local slang as "abandoned quarries". Legend has it that these immense marble cathedrals carved directly into the surface of the earth, were originally created by the Marmoros civilization, more than two thousand years ago. However, the Marmaros have all but disappeared from contemporary Portuguese consciousness..."

The Lost World of Marmaros takes visitors on a journey looking at these sites anew. Playfully merging fact with fiction, the component works present an alternate and open ended narrative of the "quarries" through the prism of a fictitious lost culture. The project explores how the presentation and ordering of information, can effect a shift in perception and lead to new associations between place and history.
