some-no-where #2

Studies about time and perhaps light. (April, 2023) I’m developing images of what was already seen and captured, unseen for a second, then recaptured in a new form of light. This possible never-ending process of making images depends solely on things I am looking after. (Still not a clue on what are them.) Whatever I’m working on, can only be justified as being my own process to reach some other thoughts and reasons. So I feel in this mid-air moment where the images do not come out fully developed, nor they do not exist yet, because they do since the moment I archived them for later in life. They’re not blooming yet, nor anymore.

some-no-where

Studies about time and perhaps light. (March, 2024) Among self-founded works, these studies emerge out of some-no-where. Sometimes I wish someone would explain to me what the hell I’m working on. Then I keep working on it until I get bored or distracted by something else. Whenever the readings that follow these studies lead me through the same path, a kind of grounded work seems to emerge, but they are mainly a way of keeping my mind distracted from what I have had already set out to do, years before, which is why I call them studies or essays. Nothing new, I guess, for most of us who seem to be doing something to prove ourselves in this ticking clock. But don’t take this lightly, I can never do that anyway, as these images seem to come from somewhere where I didn’t want to be revealed and yet I obey and do them.

figures of relation

the readymade, april 2016

like one of another, the mirror without end, eyes into eyes, mine into yours into mine again, the figure has arrived quite before it was staged in front of them.

the readymade, hoped to be found was found and became itself

now that it is, we breathe relieved.

Aug. 2013

Momento incerto, onde as referências emergem e se atropelam (claramente em mente se tem Zabriskie Point de um lado e Bill Brandt do outro, quando a experiência nos assoma). Por um lado a consternação, a confluência das matérias para um ponto, por outro a sua relação material com as demais. Consternação e confluência anunciam a aflição e a ferida, ponto de rasgo material onde tudo o que nele se concentrou lhe abriu agora um espaço. Tal como Cioran, acredito que se prepara o que se cria como quem comete um crime ponderado, «em ambos os casos, o que sobressai é a vontade de ferir.». Não sei porém qualificar essa vontade tal qual como um malefício criminoso, mas que em todo o caso a humanidade o contém nos seus actos, isso é um facto.
