PAISAGEM AZUL COM AUTOMÓVEIS

Since a few years ago we have been thinking obsessively about extracting “theatrical matter” out of our urban living. About reflecting on the way our emotions, our “senses” survive in the post-modern urban world of massification and isolation. About the way our thoughts react when the “pixel syndrome” settles in.
We watch the world, we watch the town, the people and things but we can also imagine that we are watched by whatever surrounds us. Our work begins precisely at that change of point of view.
And when we slowly close our eyes, a system of filters settles in, of inverted images, a theatre of the invisible, of unfinished senses, of thoughts waiting for a special look to make them gain unexpected and personal meanings.
Artificial bodies are prone to creating liveable voids. The parallel existence or the existence at different times of actors and marionettes – those sublime machines of desire, metaphors of restlessness moving between earth and air – makes us understand the meaning of the ephemeral.
Through this form of creation we start with simple experiments, with words leaving impressions on us, from mere poetical hypothesis evolving with aesthetical and coherence criteria, until they seem to form images side by side with our lives.
It is this resemblance of theatre and life that we are obsessively looking for.
