Many ways of mirroring

A journey between art object and performance where the mirror of water reflects us in various different ways to give us access to different facets of our self. Looking at oneself immersed in the space of nature, fragmenting one's anthropised ego into a multitude of cyborg possibilities, fluidifies the petrified conception of the Narcissus who only looks at himself, making him in fact a healed Narcissus, a plant that blossoms and grows instead of perishing.

CAMOUFLAGE

A project that explores the body as a refuge, self-care as a political act of self-determination.
Using reflections from Donna Harway's 'Cyborg Manifesto' and the millennia-old knowledge of Chinese medicine, "Camouflage" can be defined as a cyborg dress (according to the definition of 'cybernetic' as an interdisciplinary field between engineering, biology and the humanities). The technology to be empowered is our own body, which is told through a new aesthetic of power, neither feminine nor masculine, which embraces fun and irony as a reversal of bourgeois, technocratic and capitalist mores.

One morning as I looked out of my window at the majestic tree in front of it, I realised that a plastic bag was wedged between its branches. It was impossible to remove it because of the great distance between me and the tree. So I started filming it and, for three months, I recorded its life, its being there, stuck.

"In contact with art" is an interview project within the Faculty of Fine Arts of Porto.

They discuss the impact of working in an artistic environment and the many forms and opportunities this contact can offer.
