2015: Visor

"Visado" - Solo Show - Rua do Sol 172

The subject matter that I weave throughout this exhibition is centered on looking at the world from a perspective that, while being analytical and distanced, seeks poetry in the ordinary. By entitling this exhibition Visado (Targeted), I hoped to introduce the feeling of having a screen between the viewer and the world which offers the audience an artist's-eye-view. This screen is grided like the eyes of an insect, which allows us to see uv rays, colours the human eye cannot.

The artwork on the wall presents 6 images which are all the same, but where I mark the relations between the different elements of the image, in red, green and blue, the colours of video RGB. These elements of similarity can be the end of the leaves or the little holes in the sea of water cress. Next to it there is a map that belongs to the associate of father from their office of geology, where he had a spectogram of a piece of land and had taken notes of the different types of rock there were. What I do is remove the original image, and apply the annotations on to another photograph, these one of a surface of a lake with water lentils, showing infinite mapping possibilities of relations in between elements of nature.
