Eternal series: actor, mechanician and melancholy
The show is composed of artworks that were either conceived or produced in the last decade, including objects, installation, video and preformistic sculpture. Some were produced at the opening, with a performance from the artist himself, others were constituted of the public intervention.
As the curator Malú Serafim highlights, “in this set of works, the artist explores the linguistic hybridism that wanders between performance, video, image and sculpture. Included in the encyclical context of contemporary art itself, the show demonstrates a rearrangement of the support-body.
Having moved away from the idea of support, the artwork fluctuates between many languages – permeating every agent that negotiates them and being in constant transformation within an indeterminate space-time.
While the object absorbs all of its macro-narratives and is concretizes in this flow, this exchange conditions the extension of completeness of the work.
Facing all the immersion of the act, the object, just like the activating subjects are inevitably mechanism, registry and work. Thus, a game is set, an uninterrupted transformation that starts from the relational.
The present experience is conditioned within a phenomenological notion, preaching that the body allows the consciousness and is taken by the consciousness of the object. In this way, everything is realized in the perception, as the artist refers when he invokes the notion of melancholy: the rapture of the encounter with the image, when seeing becomes a visceral confabulation.”
