Abstract(s)
TRAÇOS tem como objetivo mostrar como a expressão artística pode ajudar as pessoas com incapacidade a estarem não só presentes, mas ativas e participativas “num mundo que não lhes costuma dar muito espaço”. Apresenta uma série de retratos de pessoas em que as suas deficiências, limitações e restrições se diluem, como as de qualquer outra pessoa, na representação artística da sua individualidade. Sob este ângulo de visão, pretende-se promover a reflexão sobre alguns dogmas e quebrar o mito de que a incapacidade está sempre associada à fatalidade de um corpo “inútil”, “deformado” e “indesejado” que, aos olhos de quem olha, se sobrepõe à perspetiva útil, bela e desejada de quem sente. Contrariando o procedimento da fotografia documental, este trabalho debruça-se sobre a narrativa encenada, em prol de uma maior aproximação do universo do cinema e com algumas alusões à fotografia surrealista. Para isso, aliada à série fotográfica, realizou-se uma análise das representações da doença, da deficiência e da incapacidade no cinema de David Lynch, nomeadamente através do estudo da sua obra cinematográfica e do conhecimento mais detalhado de algumas das suas personagens. Cientes de que este trabalho de investigação é complexo, procurámos outras referências, tanto escritas e conceptuais, como visuais e fotográficas, para fundamentar o desenvolvimento de uma retórica visual diferenciada e criativa, em que a nossa ocular teimou em focar-se na funcionalidade e na arte das pessoas fotografadas.
TRAÇOS aims to show how artistic expression can help people with disabilities to be not only present but active and participatory "in a world that doesn't usually give them much space. It presents a series of portraits of people in which their disabilities, limitations, and restrictions are diluted, like those of any other person, in the artistic representation of their individuality. From this angle of vision, it is intended to promote reflection on some dogmas and break the myth that disability is always associated with the fatality of a "useless", “deformed” and “unwanted” body that, in the eyes of the beholder, overlaps with the useful, beautiful and desired perspective of the beholder. Contrary to the procedure of documentary photography, the project focuses on staged narrative, in favor of a closer approach to the universe of cinema and with some allusions to surrealist photography. For this, allied to the photographic project, an analysis of the representations of illness, impairment and disability in David Lynch's cinema was carried out, namely through the study of his cinematographic work and the more detailed knowledge of some of his characters. Aware that this research project is complex, we sought other references, both written and conceptual, and visual and photographic, to support the development of a differentiated and creative visual rhetoric, in which our eyepiece stubbornly focused on the functioning and the art of the persons being photographed.
