Who is the spectator?

Who are those strangers that Raquel André has been archiving in images, texts and objects in the frame of her Collection of People, for almost a decade? How did the direct artistic relationship activated by André, was perceived by them? How did they feel through the experience of an encounter? Who are these participatory witnesses? Who are these spectators?

Raquel André fourth collection - Collection of Spectators - will be a show, a museum, a great conversation between her and the witnesses who were affected by her work.
In 2020 Collection of Spectators started with: an interactive and participatory website, www.collectionofspectators.com, in 2021 it debuted with a group of spectators on stage; they are the protagonists of this fourth Collection of People.
In each city where this Collection is presented more spectators are collected on stage, through a workshop.

This work is part of the project Collection of People: Collection of Lovers, Collection of Collectors, Collection of Artists and Collection of Spectators.
