- Description
-
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. João Miguel Fernandes Jorge.
