The artist discusses the relationship between poetry and photography in his work, composed as much of images as of books and poems. He recounts the genesis of the piece shown at the 18th Festival, a photograph taken in Rio de Janeiro’s São Conrado neighborhood, but which evokes natural environment. He discusses the importance of erasures as a means for creating layers and thicknesses, and compares it to the focus in photography. According to him, “anywhere is the poet’s home,” and the photograph is an activity designed to transform the gaze, not only through wonderment, but through the questioning of the image. For instance, it can look for landscapes in unexpected places. He speaks on the importance of noise and error in his photos as a form of multiplying the possibilities for audience contact with the artwork. He also rememorates his father Waly Salomão’s relationship with Associação Cultural Videobrasil – a partnership that lasted several years – and the affinities between the intellectual’s ideas and the event’s mutant characteristic, always open to the risk that so appealed to the poet.
