Biogram
- Blaze
- Lisbon, Lisbon, Portugal
- Anthropologist, museum and art curator, started in 2006 a long-term visual conceptual project: a work in progress that includes single-channel video, film, explorations of archive footage, experimental movies and conceptual photography. The art project materializes visual experiences involving original footage or the re-treatment of moving images and also the use of soundscapes. Basically, the conceptual outline goes from the political visual essay (violence in history) to a deeper more introspective way, like expressing the Freudian psychoanalysis or going into Nietzsche’s philosophy. Aesthetically is inspired in two close-related modern and post-modern movements: surrealism (language) and pop art (technique). It is also assumed a strong link – formal and informal – to the history of cinema.
