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…

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. I have to admit that everything between the academic/personal process I've been through so far is very different from anything I've done before, and it makes me a bit insecure. …

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…

Today my friend was hospitalized

English: Earlier this month a very close friend had a sequence of nervous breakdowns. In the midst of these crises, before we became aware of the gravity of the situation, we spoke on the phone, and I felt the conversation was disconnected. In the short connection, she called herself an ‘artist’ sometimes. I know she…

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…

Leaking Art

English: At this moment I feel kind of strange writing words that are neither quotes nor referring to the theme Light in Art. From the moment I chose to venture into the MA and the London life, I knew that there would be a moment of finalization of my projects in Brazil, and the Mackenzie’s…

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…

Whites

English: Open to the Londoner perceptions, during an urban journey I was blown away by the city that passed through the front window of the double-decker bus. As on many winter days, it was a rainy, gray, almost white day. I could not see the outside of the window perfectly, I had to trust the…

Uncertain Motion

Mid-Point Review Feedback  English: Before entering into the feedback from colleagues about my video and my work I will put here a bit of how was my process of personal reflection and midpoint achievement. I know that sometimes I have cyclical and conflicting feelings about my work, I have a hard time being fully satisfied…
