Em sua pesquisa, Jeff Mendes explora os aspectos “invisíveis” das incontáveis formas de violência. Seu interesse está no estudo dos signos, processos e histórias que reverberam continuamente na sociedade contemporânea. As obras trazem à discussão as tarjas pixeladas (desfoques), signos utilizados como forma de proteção da identidade de indivíduos. Nelas, o artista utiliza a linha de pensamento do filósofo camaronês Achille Mbembe, que diz: “Através do estado de exceção, a relação de inimizade tornou-se a base normativa do direito de matar. Em tais instâncias, o poder se refere e apela à exceção, à emergência e a uma noção ficcional do inimigo”. Serão esses os inimigos ficcionais?

In his research, Jeff Mendes explores the "invisible" aspects of the countless forms of violence. His interest is based on the study of signs, processes, stories that continuously reverberate in contemporary society. The works bring to discussion the pixelated borders (blurring), signs used as a form of protecting the identity of individuals. In them, the artist uses the line of thought of the Cameroonian philosopher Achille Mbembe, who says: "Through the state of exception, the relationship of enmity has become the normative basis of the right to kill. In such instances, power refers and appeals to the exception, to the emergence and a fictional notion of the enemy". Are these the fictional enemies?
