echoes in me
Echoes in me
Vídeo de: Ana Efe
Duração: 1 minuto
Formato de Gravação: Mini DV
Formato de Apresentação: DVD
Ano: 2007
Sinopse
Vou-me plantar à tua porta até que me cresçam raízes... A transferência entre mim e o outro, metonimicamente representado através do processo de germinação de cebolas.
Neste vídeo o observador é confrontado com uma imagem sub-aquática. Detalhes de raízes debaixo de água em plena borbulhescência são rodeadas por sons longínquos de portas que se abrem e fecham. Fragmentos de um discurso amoroso vindos de quem tenta comunicar entre si próprio e o outro de uma forma amorosa.
Mas o amante, o enamorado (eu e o outro) está constantemente a tirar novas medidas, está sempre a questionar-se a si próprio... Estes fragmentos de discurso amoroso são o que Roland Barthes chamaria de figuras, considerando-as não narrativas e considerando o discurso amoroso como não dialéctico. “Quantas vezes ouvimos frases como esta “Não sabia onde tinha a cabeça para me deixar apaixonar por ele”...

Synopsis
I’m going to plant myself at your door until the roots grow... The transference between me and the other, metonymically represented by the onion sprouting process.
In this video the observer is confronted with one sub aquatic image. Details of roots under water, surrounded by distant sounds of opening and closing doors. Fragments of an amorous discourse from who tries to communicate between himself and the other in an amorous way. But the lover, me and the other is always measuring, is always questioning himself… This fragments which Roland Barthes would call of figures, considering them non-narratives and at the same time considering the amorous discourse as non-dialectical.

Sinopse
Este vídeo lida com o conceito presença. Tomei o papel principal, eu seria quem iria chorar tal como quando Roland Barthes faz referência ao sofrimento amoroso, à volubilidade.
A presença do outro em mim.
Cebolas foram escolhidas pela presença, pelo abusivo e intrusivo cheiro. A sua presença ficou no meu corpo dois dias.
54 segundos (duração do vídeo) foi o tempo que levou uma lágrima a chegar do meu olho à minha boca.
This video deals with the presence concept. I took the principal character in the role. I was the one who was going to cry as when Roland Barthes makes reference to the amorous suffering, to the volubility.
The presence of the other in me.
Onions have been chosen by their presence, their intrusive and abusive smell. Their presence stayed in my body for two days.
54 seconds, the time a tear took from my eye to my mouth.

Sinopse
Tenho vindo a explorar sensações gravando movimentos do meu corpo. Neste vídeo, é feito um apelo à inocência através do movimento e som. Inocência, em termos disponibilidade para experienciar sentimentos, sensações, deixando de parte posições de defesa, de suspeição. A magia dos afectos. O primeiro plano da minha mão que dança ao som de piano.
I’ve been exploring sensations, recording movements of my body. In this video, I’m appealing to innocence through movement and sound. Innocence, in terms of being available to experience feelings, sensations, loosing the defensive and suspicious positions, being available to experience feelings, emotions, the other.
The magic of affections. My hand dances while we can listen piano music.

Out of Ordinary V&A

Annie CattrellThis joint V&A and Crafts Council exhibition feature international eight artists who place meticulous craftsmanship at the heart of their work. On display unusual and beautifully crafted installations. The artists take inspiration from the everyday, transforming their subjects using traditional techniques in unexpected ways. Works include a scattering of life-like weeds and plants 'growing' around the gallery, all skillfully hand-carved from wood; an apparently paint-splattered table which has been inlaid with mother of pearl; a seven metre high crimson cascade made using traditional Chinese paper-cutting methods.

Seduced: Art and Sex from Antiquity to Now
Sunday, November 18, 2007
i'm completely in love with this fantastic object...
Sansula..........................................................................................................................................................
It was Ronja who presented me to this wonderful piece and since then it became part of my universe... it's amazing!! ... even me that don't know anything about music.... started to play something melodic...This is a truly delicate sounding instrument. Imagine going into a secret room that nobody but you knows about, a place where your soul can be renewed as you surround your mind and heart with mystical beauty. Thats what playing this instrument feels like!
The Sansula is tuned to the A minor chord, with a second and a minor 6 thrown in. This tuning is a double-edge sword - you will not be able to play any songs you might think of playing on it, but on the other hand, EVERYTHING you play will have a unique mystical and haunting beauty, whether you know anything about music or not.
The coolest thing about the Sansula is the way it produces the "wah wah" sound. The wah is produced by covering and uncovering the sound holes to change the resonant frequency of the sound box. The Sansula is mounted on the head of a small drum which serves as the resonant cavity, and the resonance is altered when you hold it firmly against a flat surface or if you tilt it off of that surface. (Please don't beat on the drum, as this instrument is very delicate and will break if you misuse it.) So, you get the wah-wah effect by lifting it up and putting it back down on a table, or a board or book on your lap.
