The In(sul)ar project marks the dichotomy between reality and fiction, by creating meta-images of an imagined island, where time and space are confused with each other. The project consists of a video, sound and photography installation, and ascertains the territory of the Azores as an Atlantic place, which exists at the crossroads between Europe and Africa. In(sul)ar is a work of investigation and artistic creation that reflects the relation between space, memory and history, as well as the mapping of the body and its relation with the architecture, and the identity.
The project develops these concepts around the islands of the archipelago of the Azores, based on the representation of the landscape and its relation with architecture. Therefore, the work accentuates the duality between the ruin of the tourist and colonial project, represented here by the disruptive presence of the Hotel Monte Palace, which contrasts with the romantic idea of a tropical landscape.
This is a project that also arises from a residence developed with the artist Sounslikenuno (Chullage), based on the construction of sound.
Walk&Talk returns to São Miguel between 5 – 20 July and in its ninth edition, the festival welcomes more than fifty artists, collectives and curators, presents dozens of new projects that cross art, dance, performance, architecture, design, cinema and music, and builds a new temporary pavilion designed by Artworks & GA Studio.
The program is organized around art circuits that extend to various localities and spaces of the island, hosts artistic residences, exhibitions, shows, concerts, talks, initiatives dedicated to knowledge and parallel events.
Curated by Sérgio Fazenda Rodrigues, the circuit explores the idea of “identity” in its relationship with gender, history, landscape, architecture, archeology and other fields of the sciences, to reflect the actions of the collective in the construction of the geographical “place” , at the same time social, cultural and emotional, synthesis and container of fluid and autonomous identities.
The exhibition that will be presented by the artist was develop as a residency in March 2019 with the support of Pico do Refúgio and in collaboration with the artist SoundsLikeNuno (Chullage) that will develop the sound design of the video to be exhibited at the festival.
A group presentation showcasing works by Joël Andrianomearisoa, Manal AlDowayan, Zoulikha Bouabdellah, Timothy Hyunsoo Lee, Alexandra Karakashian and Mónica de Miranda.
Being part of the 13th edition of the EDP Foundation New Artists Award, Circular do Sul (South Circular) is a research, photography and video project that builds a narrative around the former Lisbon Military Road and reflects urbanism, immigration and decolonization processes.
The video develops a narrative between reality and fiction as a journey that traces, like an archaeological search, the landscape of the former Military Road of Lisbon. Built around the city in the 19th century, it rescues the memories of fragile and lost places in the peripheries of contemporary Lisbon.
This work was produced from a collaboration with social associations, residents of these neighborhoods , friends and family, artists and in collaboration with Teatro Griot and Sound design Soundslikenuno (Chullage).
