Alhambra in Granada documented
by the artist. You can read our 2015 dialogue about the Alhambra here. I have been
continuously impressed with the direction her explorations have taken.

Her exhibition at the Carousel in London opened last week and will run through July 1.
By means of photographic assemblage the artist deconstructs symmetry and has
generated illusory semblances. Symmetry 's Portal is thus a body of work of optical
illusions where the symmetric and random are diluted in three-dimensional works
originated from two-dimensional planes.

How were these pieces produced?
Margarida Sardinha: The series Symmetry’s Portal

30 works’ backgrounds are printed on vinyl and the THIS IS MY BEST
polyhedral shapes attached to them are printed on
photographic paper and then assembled by me. I outsourced the printing and the
plexiglas boxes that enclose the works from a local manufacturer.

EN: Your first visit to the

Alhambra was in 2011.
How and when did you
first take an interest in
symmetry?
MS: Symmetry has
been a long sought
interest of mine since
my work deals with Specially Priced for the Holidays
geometry. But before I
went to the Alhambra I
read specialised books
on the subject such as
Marcus du Sautoy’s
“Symmetry – A Journey
into the Patterns of Nature”, Keith Critchlow’s “Islamic Patterns” and Roger Penrose’s
“Shadows of the Mind”. I also saw a very interesting and extensive retrospective of the
works of M.C. Escher at the Alhambra galleries and then further read “Godel, Escher
and Bach” by Douglas Hofstadter.

Have there been points

understandings? Can
you describe these?
MS: I suppose the first
great breakthrough was
to be able to recognize
the 17 two-dimensional
regular tessellations that
are possible on a flat plane. You see, in symmetry there are only 17 regular ways of
dividing a two-dimensional pane into regular tessellations and these can be all found in
the floors, walls and ceilings of the Alhambra. It is extremely rare to find all these types
of symmetries all in the same place – only some Egyptian temples also display such
knowledge. When I went to the Alhambra I was on the lookout for these different types
of symmetries and as I photographed the place I was able to find and understand Click Image to Download Now
them.
CAN'T READ MY LIPS?
EN: How does understanding symmetry give us a greater understanding of and
appreciation for the universe we live in?
MS: Symmetry has an uncanny way of finding its way everywhere – from a flower way
of growing to manmade constructions it seems to surround us and even be part of us.
Hence, I take a Platonic stance on how we perceive the world, which appears to be
subconsciously guided by innate forms linked to geometry and symmetry thus by
understanding these subjects we can better understand ourselves and our
subconscious backgrounds.
