Photos with objects
“Lastly, the sequence of photographic prints entitled, Rua Silvio Romero 34, dez/2009 (34 Silvio Romero Street, dec/2009), reflect more obviously on temporal layering in the creative process. In this series, five identical photographs of the artist’s atelier are developed in pale colors, then trod on and dirtied, highlighting the human gesture over the constructed image.
The descriptive title of the work exposes the crisis of representation in art, while the layers of events imprinting the passage of time on the surface of the work evoke a kind of meta-representation. Each photograph from this series carries a title that registers the moment that the image was first captured and exhibited, the footprints that add up afterwards, thereby provoking a certain temporal shock. Thus, the intrusion of life upon art suggests that the world is no longer represented but presented in contemporary poetics.”

“The works created to Frestas draw from photographs of the Sorocabana Railway Station, a building inaugurated in 1930. The railway itself was one of the most important lines during the 19th and early 20th centuries. The station house, once a thriving link between Sorocaba and the city of São Paulo, is currently defunct.”
