Abstract(s)
Este projeto consiste na exploração das emoções e das formas que estas poderão ser
transpostas para a fotografia. As emoções estão presentes na nossa vida
constantemente; no entanto, na maioria das situações que experienciamos diariamente
optamos por reprimi-las e, por isso, não as expressamos. Contudo, as emoções refletem
o nosso verdadeiro ser: todo o processo se desenvolve no cérebro e deriva em
manifestações físicas, sendo esta interacção condição sine qua non não apenas para a
expressão emotiva, mas também para a consciência dessa emoção: o sentimento. Neste
quadro, a informação que o nosso cérebro memoriza ao longo da vida também se
interrelaciona neste processo, pois as memórias também despoletam emoções e
sentimentos. Os artistas exploram a dimensão expressiva da emoção através da arte,
seja através da pintura, da performance, da fotografia, entre outras, procurando
retratar as emoções pessoais, criando uma linguagem simbólica que deriva num
processo comunicativo sensorial entre o criador e o observador.
Na atualidade, face ao contexto pandémico e consequentemente ao isolamento e à
grande dependência das novas tecnologias, as emoções tornaram-se ainda mais
complicadas de expressar, pois para além existir um notório bloqueio quanto à
percepção de estados emotivos, existe também uma quase ausência do envolvimento
empático para com o outro, característica do que nos torna efetivamente humanos.
Neste enquadramento, houve a necessidade de um retorno ao uso do corpo como o
busílis das emoções, centrando-se o presente trabalho fotográfico na dimensão
expressiva/comunicativa das mãos e do autorretrato. No seguimento, o resultado e a
sua projeção visam recuperar a linguagem emocional da imagem, cuja genuinidade
aproxima aquele que a observa com tudo aquilo que o outro sente.
This project consists in exploring emotions and the ways that they can be transposed to photography. Emotions are present in our lives constantly; however, in most of the situations we experience daily we choose to repress them and therefore do not express them. However, emotions reflect our true being: the whole process develops in the brain and derives in physical manifestations, this interaction being a sine qua non condition not only for emotional expression, but also for the awareness of that emotion: the feeling. In this framework, the information that our brain memorises throughout life is also interrelated in this process, as memories also trigger emotions and feelings. Artists explore the expressive dimension of emotion through art, whether through painting, performance, photography, among others, seeking to portray personal emotions, creating a symbolic language that derives in a sensorial communicative process between the creator and the observer. Nowadays, in the face of the pandemic context and consequently the isolation and great dependence on new technologies, emotions have become even more complicated to express, because besides there being a notorious blockage regarding the perception of emotional states, there is also a near absence of empathic involvement with the other, a characteristic that makes us effectively human. In this context, there was a need to return to the use of the body as the essence of emotions, focusing this photographic work on the expressive/communicative dimension of the hands and of the self-portrait. Following this, the result and its projection aim to recover the emotional language of the image, whose genuineness brings the one who observes it closer to everything that the other feels.
