Statements


My dinner table drawings are maps of social experiences, and different performances in imaginary times and circunstances.
The words are very much on a survival language in people socializing. Other times, it happens the viewer can follow an entire conversation.
The work is on our language's experience, gesture and body language.

In Rosa Almeida’s work her aim has been to replace language, making it closer to the way we actually experience it, through thinking, speaking and reading.
In her drawing based work, she uses different media such as site specific installation, light, photography, sculpture and video.
Her writings are not conclusive but fragments, to be edited by the viewer each time he sees it. The language is always in relation with the experience’s layers and space.

In my video animations, I shoot blow ups of drawings of mine and its presence, as well as the handy camera is very important. The works are an interface of video and drawing.
The video animations are the way the spectator looks at the drawings, from detail to another detail, editing himself the drawing.
The video animations enphasises this editing process, of a fragmented nature, relating to the video process too.

My drawings are to be experienced. They are not to be seen at distance and the detail / spectator’s exchange have a very special role.
The detail is not non relevant, it reflects a perceptive proposal of language in the visual territory, that has been developed in my work since 1995.
As in a book, the spectator relation is a partial experience, non contemplative. Opposite a books’s neutral and abstract space, in my work, the written language in multiple directions is related to the the space experience, in its map quality – the walks lines and dinner table scratches.
In this way the reading is linked to the real experience, even physical, which is reinforced by the superfragmented writting.
In the Photo Drawings, I decided to value this.
They are versions of a spectator involvement with my drawings, pointing out that “…the important is not the images but what one chooses to see on it”.

Não são para ser vistos ao longe, daí que o pormenor / envolvimento do espectador tenha especial relevância.
O pormenor não é gratuito, reflete a proposta perceptiva da linguagem
no campo visual, que tem acompanhado o meu trabalho desde 1995.
Aparentemente como num livro, o espectador tem que se envolver para ler/ver o trabalho, é uma experiência parcial, não comtemplativa.
Mas ao contrário de um livro, onde o espaço é abstracto e neutro, nos meus trabalhos a linguagem escrita em multiplas direcções, é inseparável
do espaço,vivenciado, na aparencia de mapas, linhas de percursso ou mesas de jantar.
Neste sentido a leitura corresponde a uma experiencia real, fisica até, reforçada pela escrita superfragmentada.
Nos Photo Drawings decidi valorizar isto.
Eles são interpretações da aproximação do espectador ao desenho, apontando que "(...) o mais importante não é a imagem mas aquilo que se escolhe ver nela".**
Se os Desenhos são uma proposta de experiência, os Photo-Drawings são o registo duma experiência.
Neste sentido os Photo-Drawings são trabalhos sobre a visão, o percursso do espectador, que é reforçado na importancia da instalação no espaço, que obriga de novo a um percursso noutro espaço, ampliado.
No sentido da tradição da Fotografia os Photo-Drawings refletem, um passo atrás, a fotografia-documentação da obra, em desenho.
A tensão proposta sobre o original é muito importante nestes trabalhos.

The Light Drawings, 2003, are as well about the importance of the detail in our perception and memory. Our attention, the light focus on a precise moment
of the drawing. The two elements are strictly connected. The light is a material.
The Light Drawings depend on the space around and are site specific, done directly on the wall. I’ve been doing wall drawings since 1996.
The motion image, video/cinema quality in the Light Drawings is very important.

Os Light-Drawings, de 2003 são também sobre a importancia do pormenor na nossa percepção e memória. A nossa atenção, a luz foca um preciso momento do desenho, e os dois elementos são interdependentes. A Luz não é um acessório mas um material.
Os Light-Drawings dependem do espaço envolvente e são trabalhos site specific, feitos directamente na parede. Eles vêem no seguimento dos meus wall drawings desenvolvidos desde 1996.
Nos Light-Drawings a qualidade de moving image, Video/Cinema no Desenho é muito importante.
