Fendas de presença #1: solidão plástica
This artistic audiovisual installation dialogues with the thought about production of Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht (2010), for whom the aesthetic experience always will confront us with the tension between presence and sense. He will dialogue also with the thought of Georges Didi-Huberman (2010), referring to all the eye brings with it its enclosure and the challenge is leaving a gap opening in this enclosure, allowing the eye to open a pit in what we see. Stem from these foremost references, the installation seeks to involve perception and challenge the spectator’s look.
