Histórico da ilha

(History of the Island)


loss of matter, starting point, recovering, past

A tenuous retelling of the island's past: What was the island like before the present time? What was the starting point? What could it become? Could it eventually return to its initial point completely or would it lose matter/soul? Would it "learn" from "life" and be able to "recover" matter?These questions are explored by the use of photographs of a more recent past, of the mountain element that starts in one form and undergoes changes, with different languages of representation and ends in a form similar to the initial one, however with more matter than that one.
Using old papers from different origins (e.g. accountancy paper and airplane stationery) would represent different areas of the past. Due to the use of this type of papers, remembering a past, whether recent or distant, would lead to a recollection of how thinks were before and reliving it along with the present.

This work is one of several in which I explored the island/mountain theme, such as Ilha portátil and Montanha portátil. Besides that Histórico da Ilha coexists with the book Ilha portátil.
