My briefing
NÓS Version II (VT) came from the same internal source with which I have already been working: my impression of violence against the individual. First of all nós, in Portuguese, can mean us or knots at the same time.
This VT version was recorded inside an instalation at the Museo de Arte Contemporânea of the University of São Paulo and shows, in a slide projection, a shooting with someone’s body failing down, with the sound of the projector taken the place of the noise of the bullets . The sequence follows with an interleaved face in the mirror and the empity pants lying in the foor. In such a subjective action the face in the mirror, my own face, has a very deep meaning following Lacan, facing itself and slowly turning its head to face forward.
It must be said that the failing body is a autonomous work an its registration is posted in this web site in as performance with the title corpo che cade, somehow connected to the last lines of
Dante's Inferno, canto V,
Gabriel Borba, 2019
