Sarado will be included in this collective exhibition
Colective Photography Exhibition
Sarado is the result of a variety of influences in my work, this is not a piece about originality, this is about the need to generate gestures and recordings found on the web’s image search. A way to create my personal archive through a series of actions done by myself, I get involved with objects and poetic situations, I called these work series interActions, mixes between self portrait, photo-performances and actions for camera. Sarado has double meaning depending on the Portuguese language based (Portugal or Brazil), an interesting way to generate layers of knowledge that surround this work, a relation between Latin America and Europe and me in an immigrant intermediate reality. Placing band-aids over my face I try to avoid the gesture as way to neutralize different expressions that could define my personal feelings, a way to cure, a way to start again with a renewed face in a new reality, place, context or time.
