EXCAVATIONS

Abstract

“Excavations” is an artistic experiment conducted by the Collective Fabulografias, linked to the Laboratory of Audiovisual Studies – OLHO, of the Faculty of Education – Universidade Estadual de Campinas (Unicamp - SP) , which was exposed in 2015 at the Image and Sound Museum of Campinas - SP at the Mostra “Aparições” organized by the Laboratory of Studies Advanced in Journalism - LABJOR - Unicamp. Inspired by the photographs of Francesca Woodman, in the images of Tom Lisboa (Palimpsestos) and Leila Danzinger (All Names of Melancholy) in works supported by the newspaper, and by the poetry  by Manoel de Barros, the Fabulogfrafias Collective proposes in this exhibition to think an intervention by the poetics of the fragment and to make appear from the newspaper words the unspeakable and the unbearable. The imagery productions were triggered by texts written by the Collective Fabulographs from meetings of researchers-artists with minority groups: street dwellers, university cleaning workers, indigenous people... From the short stories we launched the imaginary productions with the newspaper, digging in the journalistic subjects the narratives that are not present, emptying the letters and words and images and composing a poetic narrative that makes pulsate the silence and the invisibility.
