Critical Evaluation and future development (Internal Dive)

English: I started this master's degree with the interest in developing my artistic practice and from this, I could start to build my voice within the context of contemporary art. In the first year of the course, I was still very involved with the end of my Brazilian MA, for which I wrote a dissertation…

FLOOD_ Symposium 2

English  At first, I wanted this video to be more poetic. A piece of art by itself. Almost a video statement that could account for presenting me as an artist. When I started putting my thoughts in order and in text format I felt a bit lost- how to summarize everything I'm thinking and building…

Full Body Blind Self Portrait

English: I still feel very uncertain about the value of these drawings as art, or whether they are just part of a process or a personal ritual. Yet I decided to resume my practice and try to take a step beyond what I had done before. Since I started this process of self-portraits my focus…

Low Residency 2018 and the Creative block

English: In the midst of an intense creative block with the phrase "you need to try harder" bombarding my head, I found myself in the middle of the most intense, most important and most fun days of the course: Low Residency. 10 days in which all the students are invited to participate in a series…

Tutorial #5

English: Another one-on-one Tutorial with Jonathan. I do not know if I'm getting repetitive, but I can not help expressing the desperation I feel when I see the days going by so fast and I have so much difficulty in achieving the accumulated projects. I'm getting a little scared of the big FINAL Show, and…

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…

2017 Between Flights #3

English: In this kind of text I always try to be as free as possible, deriving from the planes, the airports, the routes, trying to concentrate on a time of reflection and evaluation of plans, paths, and expectations. These times of departures and arrivals are the most difficult and painful for me, I easily go…

On Writing

English: I feel that since I finished writing the dissertation an avalanche of new things began to happen as if everything was dammed, and finally, ideas and thought streams are now free to take me to other places. I am very happy with the beginning of these new processes, I feel being washed by the…

Green Screen

English: One of the most distressing things about studying at Camberwell is not having enough time to explore all the equipment, workshops, and classes the course has made available to me.  Even though I knew how the Chroma Key worked, and the whole theory behind the green screen I never had the opportunity to play…
