During my BA in FBAUP, I received a proposal to make a work based on a reflection about video. As an answer, I developed this instalation about the development of an artistic project.
The process is the work itself and the result is mere consequence of development.
By absorbing what has already been done, something new grows between surveys, references and brainstorming.
It's the external space that enters the project's interior and this one acquires dimensions that are impossible to measure. Now, the space is disarranged with time, media, action, reference, and reflection.
The chronology is shuffled, the beginning comes after the end and the result is the pre-proposal. There is no end or beginning now because everything is the middle, everything is space.
Pre-proposal
When attempting to produce a videographic object, it's important to question what space is within the practice of video.
In this sense, I intend to develop a project that questions this dimension of the video. Is the space in it exclusively digital? Artificial? Cyberspace? Is it something that can only be exploited at a 2D level or is it possible to be exploited in 3D, maybe at a multidimensional level? And what gives it those dimensions? The media? Which media? Image? Time? Movement? How it express itself? Online? By projection? Instalation? And which spot does video takes in art? Does it identify an era, a culture, politics, economy, a society?
Dispite all these questions, we may consider that the video space begins before its presentation, it starts in its development. In this way, I intended to develop a work that highlights its own process. From the moment it uses analog media to digital media and then fuse them as the video space itself is merged.
In the presentation, I intend to highlight this "hidden space" of the video, through the simulation of the works' development space. In other words, installing a table and a chair, together with the digital an analog media of video - the computer and the notebook.
Ana Linhares, in Cabinet of Constellations, visualy remembers this process. She makes the association of several images, texts and draws that we have acess to in our daily lives. These combinations are made inside her computer screen and challenge a formal and iconographic narrative of the history of our ancestors, whether in politcs, arts, religious or other aspects. This unusual association of several sources promotes a criative process and the development of alternative stories, therefore, it related to my work proposal, both visually and conceptually.
