Rastros, restos e ruínas: memórias que não vivi

Abstract

This work aims to investigate memory as a process imagined from traces of existences left by others. The remnants of pasts preserved in the present through photographs and objects, which are removed from different contexts, acquire new forms and meanings through a process of appropriation and manipulation. In this process, techniques are explored for applying images onto various supports. By combining these two elements, the photos taken from the family album have their narrative manipulated, and the supports gain new possibilities for interpretation, allowing the imagining of a different story that connects the new objects. For the construction of this work, it was necessary to revisit artistic productions about memory developed during the undergraduate course. By engaging with these previous works, it became possible to think about further developments for the research of a personal poetic.
