Aromas do tempo [Scents of time]
Susana Chiocca
Cycle "Poetic or Political?", curatorship by João Baeta
[Free Entry]
I thought this work around questions of advertising, of propaganda, of fake, of fiction, of invasion and a personal exhaustion around the image. I wanted something more material, half Hischhorn of brown tape and/or cardboard coming out of the mupis through the ceiling, or to put soil and seeds and a watering process so that plants would grow during the exhibition, or that a sizeable piece of meat would rot in another of the frames; I thought of a kind of mirror reflection with a clown wig and the face would be that of each one of us; a bone hanging as a metaphor for Alexandre O'Neill's poem, or a speaker with a text engraved on it... what was left was the stone, the bone and another text. The stone that could serve as a symbol of a , the bone / self-portrait and the text describing the place of the speaker and an excerpt from the poem Idea of Beauty by Olga Novo that refers to the ephemerality and intensity of sex…
… we leave we do not know where with the certainty that beauty is not a fugacious thing, it lasts in a time proper to contemplation and maturation.
