João Pádua | Paisagens Herméticas
Cycle "Poetic or Political?", curated by João Baeta
Entrada Livre / Free Entrance
In this exhibition Hermetic Landscapes the images follow a very simple presupposition. A mere exercise of imagination that until proven otherwise are among the infinite possibilities left open by Astrophysics regarding the existence of other universes parallel to the one we live in and the matter we are made of. These possibilities, although in the field of theory, raised by some currents of Astrophysics indicate as being a real possibility. Starting from the principle that other universes would have a probable and natural alchemical difference in its initial spark, its own Big-Bang, consequence and result in good measure different from our universe, either in its laws and physicochemical phenomena, in short, in its natural laws, leaving open an infinite field of ideas and hypotheses for the human imagination. From that inexhaustible matrix, I launch these images as a proposal for one of those possibilities, which, in the light of what we know today, will be as possible and credible as any other, as scientifically irrefutable or as far from reality as any other. In this proposal of a parallel universe, what is put in common is the existence of solid planets, with their own morphologies and landscapes. Thus, the three photographs intend only to suggest three aerial landscapes of three of these distinct worlds.
