Inês Gonçalves
In this Inês Gonçalves' seven picture series, the whole process is connected to an intimate relation between performance and object. Her ability as a photographer is to capture expressions of colour (shades of grey dissipating), sounds, tastes, numbers (present in the volumes and atmospheres registered), the distance between performance and object.
To express, after all, that curve or that path that leads to the object, with the help of the verb to act ("boy with the mask in his hands" or "girl with the star edged stick").This dimension of performance, which is perhaps nothing less than a succeeded look over the object, holds the intensity of a sentiment (a photographic one) and projects the image beyond the centering of the chosen object. Thus, the ignorance of the name and the limit, the now moment of the mask, that are considered as a materialization and even as a form of acting." from the exhibition text "Secret Names looking for a Mask" by João Miguel Fernandes Jorge.
Until May 7th, 2008

Leaving and Returning Home
Filipe Casaca and Nuno Direitinho belong to a generation that grew up in an age when travelling is no longer a luxury, but became another middle-class conquest, instead. The world has become smaller: everyone is connected by broadband internet and mobile phones. Remote places became easily accessible and Ulysses’ anxiety and long journey back home do not make sense any longer. Homesickness, nostalgia, saudade: these feelings have not vanished from humanity’s soul; but they are now more easily appeased.

Atlas, one of the titans in Greek mythology, fought Zeus in the war between the Olympian gods and their predecessors. After ten years of confrontation, the gods won. While some of the defeated titans were sent to Tartarus, Atlas was condemned to hold up the sky on his shoulders.
The Atlantic Ocean, unlike the mythological figure after which it was named, does not hold up the sky; it sustains villages and people from three continents, instead. It is thus closer to the popular misconception of Atlas, where the unfortunate titan is represented holding the Earth (instead of the firmament), upon his shoulders.
