Synopsis:
An infinite circle of creation, evolution, transformation, death and resumption. Infinite asconstant in our lives and generations. This project begins with death and all associated disruption, including euphoria. Followed by the moment of beauty of (re) birth and (re) transformation.
István Sándorfi's emotionally charged paintings inspired me to want to portray this burden in the form of a photograph where the feelings are extreme and dramatic. During the capture of the images in my mind, Vinicius de Moraes's poem "poem in infinite" ended up being constant, which ended up giving a motto to the three phases. - Rui Patraquim
The paintings of István Sándorfi have inspired me in the idea of a body that is moved, carried and discharged. A porous body, open to the intensities of life that crosses it. For these images I gathered a series of objects that helped me to create a state of constant becoming that traveled for three moments. The first resulting from a physical catharsis, the second a rooting, and the third raising it again. What unites them is the constant search for new physicalemotional intensities, expression and observation of these in the course of the event itself. - Rita Vilhena

BL was initially created as an individual challenge and to give visibility to artists who inspired it. She is a dance teacher and is part of the international Contact-Improvisation community.
