Panoramas inter/exteriores : instalações nómadas em vidro, escala e representação

Abstract

With origins in my own artistic practice, 1 propose an investigation that focuses on glass as a material that requires, for its fruition, the presence and movement of the spectator, being especially suitable for installations, due to its capacity of integration and fusion with the space. ln this sense, with a nomadic gaze and disposition, 1 explore and map out the interval between the "white cube" and site-specific, developing the possibility of works inhabiting different places through negotiations and co-influences of the constituent elements of lnstallations and the place of temporary dwelling. ln valorization of the presentness, 1 experiment with processes of conception of works and search for exhibition sites that explore the integration capacity of glass with the space. 1 wish, in this way, to stimulate the spectator's participation in the encounter with the work of art, in multiple contexts, which is intended to be active and unstable, that is, which drives movement and displacement. ln the sarne vein of contribution to the artistic experience, 1 investigate the influences of scale in the immersiveness and perception of works and spaces, in order to ascertain in a later moment how the indefinition of scale, first experimented in my lnstallations, is capable of coexistently integrate the various potentials of different scales, offering in exchange of stability, room for oscillations of bodily sensations irreproducible in photographic or filmic registers and representations. Finally, despite the understanding of glass as refractory to imagetic transposition due to its own transparency and reflective nature, its elusiveness to representation is not without potentialities that I investigate in my practice and through the observation of works of other artists that incorporate and explore this challenge. 1 understand that among the multiple goals of representation through image, such as widening access, preservation and conservation, the alteration/reactivation of a work in another medium deserves special efforts and attention.
