Slide projection and sound session
Curated by Pedro Lapa and Sofia Nunes

“A tale that recovers orality as a practice, nowadays almost obsolete, to operate from the testimony. The structure of the tale consists of different phrases played by a soundtrack synchronised with a projection of hand-painted slides.”

The different testimonies were captured in conversations occurring in distinct times and spaces from seven characters (…). Each phrase raises a specific reflection on a peculiarity of life. Together they all arise as displaced references forming a context (…). The projected images that accompany the tale much help to clarify each phrase-example (…). [The whole] produces a community of ideas and images articulated in their uniqueness through various modes while refuting the institution of a major sign.
