Objetos de memória : entre imagem estática e imagem em movimento

Acompanha um DVD com 3 videos relativos ao Trabalho de Projeto: eraser river ; i remenber ; vanishing, apenas consultáveis na Biblioteca da FBAUL com a cota CDA 197 - ULBA018409Objects of Memory is a master's dissertation in Multimedia Art with a theoreticalpractical nature, which we analyze the concept of memory associated with the postcard’s object. Starting from the aggregation of dichotomous concepts such as memory / myth and Gestalt / narrative unit, we explore relationships based in a construction of the visuality having as resource the static image and the moving image, which intersection is made from the photography with the video. For an interpretation of the postcard and its artistic faculties as an object, we evoke the Mail Art approaching the use of postcards by the Fluxus Group and by artists such as Robert Filliou and Ray Johnson, who in the late 1950s used postcards as artistic objects to communicate with other artists around the world. Gathering the works of Alain Resnais, Chris Marker, Marcel Broodthaers, Orhan Pamuk and Óscar Muñoz, we observed possible relations with the concept of memory within the scope of the project, specifically the work methodology inserted in narrative and visual discourse. For the Objects of Memory final project, we have been developed three videos - Eraser River, Vanishing and I Remember - each one representing a postcard to be projected through a device. From the intersection of images we explored a working methodology that allowed to create visual events with the purpose of transforming theperception of the postcard as a whole. For this, we connected static images (photography) with images in motion (video) through the process of cut, collage and assembly to ensure a logical and perceptive speech in the body’s postcard. Although independent, each one of these videos tries to express the concept of object of memory preserving, in this way, a relation with images of the past which appear analogous to the transformation of a still image into a moving imag
