My artist talk as part of "Photography: an empathetic gesture?" Think Tank collaboration, Ulster University Belfast Northern Ireland and PhotoIreland Festival 22, Dublin, Ireland
The work presented here is the video-installation I created for the PhotoFringe 22 Real Utopias Festival, Brighton, UK, collecting a series of my performance based participatory installations for social inclusion and eco-sustainability.
I created these art-environments by bringing both production and perception of my photography, from a visual experience mainly centered in the use of sight, to the realm of empathy, within my own ecology of care.
In my participant observation and installation-based art practice's research, I choose to focus on exploring how the depth of all senses guide us to an intuitive experience of photography, for both myself as creator of the artworks and their environments, as well as for the receiver of my message.
It is through touch that I have explored my multilingual visual poetry's performance and soundscapes, in both their interaction and exchange of meaning with the audience.
