Seal Moons

Ola Pessoal,

Nesta série de fotografias divido com vcs o prazer que fiz em desenvolvê-la. Espero que apreciem e agradeço caso possam contribuir com feedback.

Estou pensando em fazer um pequeno video com as fotografias das "Seal Moons" realizando uma trajétória imaginária.

Um grande abraço.

Seal Moons

The “Seal Moons” photographic series suggests the presence of nature and cosmos. The aesthetical result evokes Native Americans’ myths related to the moon and animals. The blurriness of these images inspired me to create this analogy that goes beyond the potential of a sharp image that a telephoto lens would give me if I had used it.

In this case, the ability to overcome the predetermined limits of the equipments involved on the creative process is a way to the artistic expression and it has been a challenge on my photographic search.

A série fotográfica “Seal Moons”, sugere a presença da natureza e do cosmos. O resultado estético evoca mitos de diferentes povos indígenas americanos onde a lua e animais se relacionam. O aspecto embaçado dessas imagens me inspiraram a criar esta analogia que vai além do potencial de uma imagem nítida que uma lente telebjetiva teria me dado se eu a tivesse utilizado.

Neste caso, a habilidade de ultrapassar os limites predeterminados dos equipamentos envolvidos no processo criativo é um caminho para a expressão artítica em si e tem sido um desafio na minha busca da arte através da fotografia.

“Petit Histoires” is made of a series of 50 photographs presented on print paper and slideshow (using Windows Movie Maker). It inteds to reduce image to its essencial form. Leading the photograph to another sphere, probably less important than the plot and bringing to light the imaginary as a product of reality.

While we let ourselves been envolved by the snapshots, we dive into the script without claiming for conclusion. The short scenes displayed in sequence suggest private and daily stories, moving back and forth from real to ficcional. They invite us to create a story or, who knows, multiple stories through the titles of each movement.

This creative possibility given to the spectator is endowed by an everlasting atmosphere, once it would be recreated several times either by philosophical ideas around photographic representation of real or by the interaction with the short scenes.

The slide show representation is related with the cinematographic language and suggests a pre-established rhythm organized as a continuous movement made by other movements.

On the other hand, printed images, despite their static form, assume a dynamic aspect as they dialogue with a comic strip framework they give the spectator the freedom to choose his own reading rhythm even if the scenes don´t have a closure.
