Fluctuations
Virgílio Ferreira

Cycle "The Politics of images with curatorship" by João Baeta

In the universe, there is movement, encounter, fragmentation or association. All matter can be understood through the idea of continuous and intense interaction. Observable and unobservable phenomena lead us to consider human existence as not conforming to any solipsistic or individualistic position; inviting us to think holistically - everything is in relation to everything else. This inevitably involves reflection on the kind of connections and relationships that exist between humans and non-humans.
Fluctuations proposes a multi-layered photographic vision, combining unconscious aesthetic memories, that navigate the micro and macro, and give rise to re-representations of social and natural spaces.
The images for the Mupi Gallery are metaphors for a possible eidetic memory of the universe's expanding phenomena and speed.
