Entre portas e janelas

Abstract

The photos presented in this book were made in the city of Jaguarão / RS, nationally known for its architecture and heritage. This work is born of many dialogues from provocations about how this heritage is recognized, thought and portrayed over time, and about which "looks" and subjects are privileged or neglected. Through an exercise of photographic experimentation, we portray the doors and windows of the city in their details, which pass almost unnoticed by the passers-by busy with everyday life. The creative process takes place amidst long walks and (re) discovery conversations in the city's geographies. We seek to sensitize the eye you see by imagining the stories of those who breathed before us in every vestige-house. Windows and doors are passages. Places where you go, opening fragments of stories. Connection points, transition, displacements, themes. Attestations of the variety of continuous space-time. Pass, people, winds, sunshine, stories. So, we invite you to slow down and observe these details, works of hands and time. To complement the experience, the book brings the poems of Silvio Nunes, who also revisited memories and imagined stories. We will never know which parts are true and which are invented. We wish you a good trip for these images and poetry. You may come in! In our world there are no padlocks ...
