Round-up of exhibitions in Photography and Territory - Narcissism of Small Differences

 

The third exhibition of this year's round-up in Photography and Territory presents, on July 2, at Casa dos Cubos the series "Narcissism of Small Differences", by Pauliana V Pimentel, work developed during an artistic residency on the island of S. Miguel, in the Azores, in 2017.

Through this series we can witness the development of a set of lines that were already visible in previous works by the artist, namely the interest in portraiture and youth expressed through empathetic photography, of proximity between author and subjects, where identity and individuality, difference and performance, seem to go hand in hand to constitute an experience of the world that is both aesthetic and sensitive.

The selection of the locations where the portraits were taken, in addition to revealing something of the social environment of the place and the landscape around the island, also seems to contribute to a distinctive dimension of the individuality of those portrayed, of a symbiosis between expressions, gestures, body language, environments, places and landscape, full of meanings and possibilities, of an expressive power that we are pleased not only to register but also to show.
