Abstract(s)
Cada pessoa tem a sua própria cidade, cidade imaginária que combina pormenores de locais reais, mundos do sonho ou fantasias pessoais. É a nossa própria forma de encaixarmos na realidade. Absorvemos uma variedade de estímulos e conservamos o que na realidade nos deixou um eco nas nossas almas — hábitos culturais, experiências exóticas, pessoas, sentimentos, memórias, trajectos favoritos ou somente pequenos detalhes arquitetónicos… Ligando as nossas impressões, construímos o nosso mundo. Ele já não pertence somente a um lugar ou país, é global e misturado a partir de diferentes aspectos culturais. Com cada novo contato nós naturalmente mudamos e a nossa mente muda também.
Este trabalho é minha cidade imaginária. Com este projeto quero mostrar partes da minha imaginação e incentivar as pessoas a partilharem as suas cidades «reais», as quais, no meu ponto de vista, ajudarão a compreendermo-nos melhor uns aos outros. Partes da minha cidade ficcional foram espalhadas pelas ruas de Lisboa, uma vez que este lugar tem uma influência mágica em mim. A cidade ficcional é representada através de diversas peças, feitas recorrendo a técnicas variadas.
No fim deste projeto descobri que a metamorfose do reconhecimento pode de fato tornar-nos conscientes de aspetos familiares das nossas vidas quotidianas quando olhamos — ou contemplamos através de, mesmo que só visualmente — uma cidade ficcional.
Every person has their own city, imaginary city, that combines details of real or fictional places, of dream worlds or just personal fantasies. It´s our own way to fit to reality. We absorb lots of things and save what really has left an echo in our souls — cultural habits, exotic experiences, people, feelings, memories, favourite routes or just small architectural details… By connecting our impressions, we build our world. It no longer belongs just to one place or country, it´s global and mixed up from different cultural aspects. With every new piece we naturally change, and our mind changes as well. This work is my imaginary city. With this project I want to show parts of my imagination and encourage people to share their «real» cities, which, in my point of view, will help us understand each other better. Parts of the fictional city were spread and implicated on streets of Lisbon, as this place has a magical influence on me. The fictional city is represented through several pieces, made in different visual techniques. At the end of this project, I found that the metamorphosis of recognition can indeed make us aware of familiar aspects of our everyday lives when we look at — or travel through, even if only visually — a fictional city.
