Les traces énigmatiques des autres
BY FIONA SEGADÃES DA SILVA
In «les traces énigmatiques des autres» a semi-contemplative approach is taken to maintain our conflicting relationship with the gradual destruction of the living things. This ongoing project, like a bad omen, emphasize our helplessness and uncertainty when it comes to the living world that we have dissociated from. An underlying tension among the images is created by impending catastrophe and palpable chaos, while silent phenomena form a wavering atmosphere. By captu- ring living landscapes, a deeper reflection on our vulnerability as individuals occurs. Could the photographic act channel the emotional tension of a vulnerable living body? We must develop the ability to sense a profound connection with the natural and organic world that surrounds us and perhaps images contribute to this intention. Everything is based on observations of decontextualized places that transports us to a dimension that is both tense and mysterious.
