Terra Firme - 2016
Terra Firme was held in the context of the Labverde Artistic Immersion Program in Amazonia, which took place at the Adolpho Ducke Forest Reserve in Manaus in September 2016.
Terra Firme Forest is the name given to forest areas located in the elevated areas of the Amazonian landscape, where there is no flooding (as happens in the plains or lowlands), allowing the possibility of walking.
The video Terra Firme (2016) has two moments, in the projection room, and an earlier, immersion in the Amazon. During it, the camera was dragged through the body over a day of visual and body readings, resulting in fixed planes, which provide an eye attention, and moving planes, corresponding to the moving eye.
The alternation between focus and blur images is the means achieved to reconstruct the unreality environment felt during the on-site presence.
The uninhabited zones, like some of the Amazon, are constant re-updates of the time before the existence of landscape and absence of image. At the time when the human being did not see in his surroundings something other than himself, the landscape did not exist. For an Indian, inhabitant of wild nature, landscape is not your immediate surrounding, but the observation at the distant stars.
