Curator: Alberto Guerreiro
Alcobaca Historic Center, Portugal
31st May (22h00) – 1st June (22h00), 2nd June (22h00) and 4th June (23h00
The show presents a selection of national and
international works of strong visual and sound component including different
genres that come from video essay to more ethereal and experimental
works. The screening will include a
continuous videographic program of great artistic value and impact. Overflow
(Transborda) is part of an essential principle: expanding beyond the margins of
everyday consciousness the pictorial expression of sentimental narratives
utopias. Two prisms are in question: the image of
writing or the writing of image?

The work accumulates spoken and typographic statements on an increasing contemporary
technological speed and space out there which endangers us to be (partially or wholly)
devoured, desperately seeking words or an expression for any kind of strategy of
emotional recoverage.
