In between

English: For some years I've been procrastinating watching the movie ‘Space in Between’ by Marina Abramovic. I heard a lot of good and bad comments about this movie at the time of its release and I had the opportunity to visit the big exhibition, Marina in Between, promoted by SESC Pompéia in São Paulo. In…

2017/2018 Between Flights #5

English: I can only start this text with a very cliché comment: time always goes faster than I would like. December 2017: another journey involving documents, luggage, airports, homesickness, expectations, and luggage. Another brief visit to São Paulo - Brazil, my city full of contradictions, so loved and hated in the same intensity, that embraces…

Assessment Feedback + Tutorial #4

English: On one of the last school days of 2017, I had another tutoring meeting with Jonathan. We started by talking about my first-year assessment.

Project Proposal v.2

English: At the beginning of this master's degree I was focused on experiencing only with light. Perhaps this choice came from a great insecurity and dissatisfaction with my video work, related to negative memories remaining from the time when I worked professionally in the area, making traditional documentaries. However, in reviewing what I have produced…

Character Building w. Madeline Dae

English:  Earlier this year I helped Maddie explore her research on character building, selfie and face transformation from makeup, which is an illusion of light and shadow through makeup to hide flaws or highlight positive features (a practice started by Drag Queen community to look more feminine).  We went to Camberwell's professional photographic studio and…

Social VR (?)

English:      On the way to further explore the subject of images on other surfaces, I was keen to try new technologies. Virtual Reality has always been something that has enchanted me, and I have written a few posts on this blog about it. One of my biggest questions and insecurities is regarding the…

Expanding… (Research Paper)

English  Today I finished the frightening Research Paper.

But, as I have posted…

Her object of study is the Minhocão, a large viaduct in the center of the city,…
