Rogério da Silva, The Balcony 90 x 67cm
The Balcony is characterised by exploring the process and the marks of time inscribed in old photographs. The drawings, in their process, describe the experiences related to the work of fixing the photographic image - the imperfections and discolorations inherent to the results obtained by authors who initiated and developed the photography processes in their time. By inserting the visual expression of this antiquity into the drawing, the artist redefines the conception of time in the drawn image, and a relationship of similarity is opened between drawing and photography, with a view to enhancing a visual discourse related to the passage of time and memory.
