João Ferro Martins Something is rotten, 2009 This series of drawings marked essentially by gesture intervention, almost in a random way, also reflects a certain dimension of human chaos, of our very existence. This marks, scratches and shapes aim to achieve, by drying out the aesthetically calculated behaviour, the same level of roughness as the figure by them submersed. Instantaneous, 2006 From the photographic standpoint and since photography is an activity indivisible from the dialogue on memory, this work presents itself, in that same discussion, as the lost memory, the destroyed image, unreachable. In some of the photos you can still see the remains of the image that it had held, a bit similar to what happens with mind fragments that we accumulate and slowly become confused. [ more ]
