Description of works

1- So much sea, so much sea | 2000-11

Driven by solitude – during a lengthy sojourn away from Brazil -, I began to keep a personal diary on post cards. The processes of selecting, writing, posting, and receiving the cards was a comforting one and reminded me of my childhood, when I collected stamps and cards not addressed to me and fantasized about journeys I had not yet made.

2 - Envelope-stuffing | 2006

In this moving image, randomly captured by the webcam, I am stuffing post cards from my personal diary into envelopes. Movement is repetitious and monotonous; the projected image seems faded due to the intentional presence of natural light.

 

3 - The copy of the copy of the copy | 2006-07

Collected in small paper pads, these drawings make up a diary of images – affective references – taken from books, newspapers and magazines, as well as my own photographs.
