fernanda branco
in pressions
in pressions is a poetic visual impression of the unssen. in collaboration with the brazilian video maker mariana castelo branco.
how a body moves in fear? in cautiousness? in daring? which dance arises from a body that finds it´s way in nature without seeing?
*in pressions* is the first video from * nature in dark *: a series of 6 video-dances in the nature, neglecting the sense: vision.
for every video a brazilian poet writes a poem to:
Tender impressions of the mud
There’s nothing to seeI raise my feet softly in the darkI fallIt’s slippery
Time leaves no bruises, just on the skinI hold you in my arms like mothers doI whisper in your ear the sweetest thoughts
There’s nothing to see
Except for these leaves and pieces of wood
Dancing in the wind at a finger’s reach
There’s nothing to see
Except for theses branches and unknown little insects
Crawling on me
There’s nothing,nothing except for the earth, the soft, warm earth
Which slowly, as darkness closes in,Becomes my very own eyes
Visions of me.
Beatriz Bastos
