O Enterro do Galo (The Burial of the Rooster) is presented as an authorial reflection on the human need for understanding and belonging expressed through manifestations of belief, be they of a spiritual, religious or popular nature. Based on the expressive dimension of their visual representations, Finok explores here a universe of devotional and popular celebration practices of a syncretic quality, while also taking in the connections of origin and proximity between several elements of popular and traditional culture shared by Portugal and Brazil.
