LOST PORTRAIT
The video occurs in a time frame between two digital images (#3.25 and #5.14) which correspond to the endpoints—fist and last frame—of the travelling sequence. The observer is drawn by the eloquent reading of a poem, specifically written for this piece, where a delicate and hypnotic voice of a young woman drifts in and out of the action of this abstract interval. The reading of the poem coincides with the duration of the video which circumscribes the poetic act.
The enunciated “portrait” does not correspond to the common designation of the word, but ultimately pretends to reveal an internal physiognomy, a familiar surface, a liminal space, the potency of the abyss. In other words, the psychological space created in my work aims at encapsulating a suspended place where memory—considered as the subject’s retrospection, or inward gaze—resists the erosion of current events.
