“Essa qualidade de entender o instante como algo ligado a uma diferença dentro de uma repetição pode, inclusive, registrar ausências. Sentimento abstrato cuja materialização do que falta o torna paradoxalmente inexistente, a ausência não pode fazer corpo. Mas deixa sempre uma marca. Aqui, são as marcas dos pés na beira do mar, cujo desaparecimento iminente se torna a imagem daquele que lá esteve — ou melhor, que acabou de estar. Marcar o pé, perder a marca, voltar a marcar, voltar a perder, um jogo de perde e ganha das formas que, no olhar da artista, pode ser transformada na fantasmagoria de alguém que ali esteve e não está mais. A presença de uma ausência”. Frederico Coelho (2018)
“This quality of understanding the instant as something linked to a difference within a repetition can even register absences. Abstract feeling whose materialization of what is missing makes it paradoxically non-existent, absence cannot form a body. But it always leaves a mark. Here, they are the footprints on the edge of the sea, whose imminent disappearance becomes the image of the one who was there — or rather, who has just been there. Marking the foot, losing the mark, marking again, losing again, a game of losing and winning in ways that, in the artist's eyes, can be transformed into the phantasmagoria of someone who was there and is no longer there. The presence of an absence.” Frederico Coelho (2018)
