RESPIRAÇÃO
docu - performance, Algarve (PT), 2018
TO SEE A WORLD IN A GRAIN OF SAND.
— WILLIAM BLAKE
CONCEPT / PHOTOGRAPHY:
Jelena Pavlović
I am seated at the edge of land in Lagos, Portugal, facing the ocean with my back to it.
For 30 minutes, I simply breathe.
Humid air
Filling my lungs
Warm breath
Carving my skin
In the documentation of the performance, I explored the image as a suspended fragment within a larger temporal field. Withdrawn from cinematic flow, the image is no longer secured by sequence. Can an archive do more than preserve—can it transform?
Nothing unfolds as event.
The image remains mute — it simply holds time.
TO SEE A WORLD IN A GRAIN OF SAND.
