Abstract:
In the installation, the distorted image projected on the tabletop is reflected in the cylindrical mirror. While one sequence is distorted and reminiscent of a dreamlike state or the hazy inner workings of the mind, the other is clear and in proportion, which enables us to decipher the anamorphic image, thus to confront the “undercurrent” in our mind.

Abstract:
Nesta instalação, a imagem distorcida projetada sobre a mesa é refletida no espelho cilíndrico. Enquanto uma sequência é distorcida, e é remanescente de um estado onírico, ou do funcionamento íntimo e nebuloso da mente, a outra é clara e proporcional, o que nos permite decifrar a imagem anamórfica para, assim, enfrentar a “subcorrente” em nossa mente.
