IN BETWE3N ( 2014 /15) -- Bridges an angle on Telma João Santos self-documentary . Her work is essentially Autobiographical and Anthropologic : The Intersection in between Performance and Mathematics ( Talk-in-Interaction Polyphony ) is challenging - especially when captured through the lenses of a camera - composing an architectural dissonance and geometric layered tone of order and chaos, that mirrors her lifetime struggles - and actually resonate with "many-voices" , on multiplicity - Symbolic places of speech binds the "self" - building a scenic atmosphere for mathematical concepts that have as reference the performative body ; unveils private and public spaces, transgresses race and gender, gradually refined to the point of an aesthetic medium.
Aesthetically Speaking I visualize her work as Models of Words and forms that are populated into a neural code identical to geometric equations, recreating sequencial performative patterns ( parsing Fluid Turbulence and Spontaneous Stochasticity ) . So my editing and filming compositions of the documentary were organized around these concepts.
IN BETWE3N - This short documentary was a result for a Camera - Journalism Project - at the Etic Lisbon Art Academy -. For me, it meant an opportunity to confront her "self" and rethink about the camera-perceived angle : positioning the dimension of the body as a Performance Tool , dismistifies her rhythmic fragility and the relation between thought - movement in space and time while at the same time acknowledging the social, cultural, and political nature of her texts .
Connecting the outer dots process of her Kinesthetic Process from an external angle , my first ambition was always to create a dialogue between the way she builds performance, which stems from the very essence of what or whom she wants to portray : the thin air in between being and becoming - rising in/out a disintegrated world of constant fracture & hybrid mutations of the self . It perspectives only an angle on her artistic combination work that was also an inspiration attempt movement for others to create a space of interconnection, the same way as language rebuilds different approaches of dialogue / speech into perspective.
