The heart of this exhibition
We decided to approach the subject using our artistic horizon, articulating it from the theoretical side. In other words, what motivates this project are lived events and the possibility of keeping them present in a memory that can be thought of simultaneously from the side of the body, places, or objects through constructed visual images.
The heart of this exhibition/installation consists of various objects, images, and an audio and video installation divided into six experimental essays.
Exhibition presentation
Essay #1
Proceed to the route through the lines
Diary of a tree
First lines
“Ask a TREE. Each tree branch is a hand, reaching out to offer help”.
The roots sink into the earth, and from them, lines emerge that reproduce themselves across timeless spaces, in the reflection, you can see what was left behind. The direction of the gaze is reversed, and everything changes.
What eyes are these?
What body is this that ‘keeps’ lines and shadows in the dark after they disappear?

Diary of a tree #1
Ask a LINE. The eyes open and close.
The scientific explanation of phototransduction is suspended, and fields are reproduced in our inner experience to lead to a new understanding about the lines of different contours that activate our memories in the presence of objects with sounds and aromas. These carry atmospheres with them.

Essay #2
Cross the paths of strange atmosphere
Objects that active memories
Atmospheres
OBJECTS accompanied by atmospheres.
Objects accompanied by atmospheres of the past activate memory. At the moment, we remember another atmosphere, that of the present, which can alter post-events and vice versa.

Essay #3
Follow the atmospheric absent body
Presence and absence: dialogues
Place where the sounds are defined (audio)
Presence and absence: dialogues
The issue of pre-sentence
The pre-sentence, says Martin-Heidegger in «Being and Time» (205:38-44):
“Presence is not just on entity that occurs among other entities […] Pre-sentence always understands itself based on its existence, from its own possibility of being or not being itself”.

Essay #5
Corpo desocupado
Clothing parts
Objects that active memories
The dance of the wheel (video)
Clothes are an unoccupied body.
Clothing is an unoccupied body, yet its shadow continues to conceal a presence.
The body has become invisible in the garment that has lost volume, but the limited amount of time that each body lived in each garment it inhabited remains in it. During that lifetime, what memory do we have of that body in someone else's body?
