Photography Exhibit: 137 Perforgraphies

137 Perforgraphies investigates how the integration/interaction between being and natural environment, in the performance-sculpture I AM HOME (Lençóis, BA, Brazil, September 2012), is perpetuated through photography. 137 Perforgraphies (Lençóis, BA, Brazil, September 2012) was performed by Ciane Fernandes and photographed by Márcio Ramos, who had their respective identities as "mover" and "witness" exchanged during the creative process. Therefore, their names were also exchanged in the title of the work. In the performance-sculpture "I AM HOME", Ciane Fernandes submerged herself within the environment, mostly in a very slow pace, while Márcio Ramos moved quickly most of the time, capturing the ecological pulsing of the moment. In the process, photography becomes performative, overcoming the recording or representation of body movement and turning itself into (e)motion. Perforgraphies's proposal is that performance's primary characteristic is not the presence (of the performer or of the public), the event in time, or its recording through a technological medium (in movement or not), but, conversely, spatial pulses which connect all creative-somatic levels in a deep ecological attunement. The exhibition will take place in the Lower Ark, East Campus.
