Bruno Vilela and your flight blind

[ Alexandre Belém | 30 Jul 2009 | 6 Comments | 1,357 views]

The plastic artist pernambucano Bruno Vilela is with a new series of photographs. Flying blind is called and it shows exclusively for the 5th Blog Paraty in Focus.

In reality, these photos were saved in a closet and would be resumed in another era. Bruno, one artist in constant boiling, after the badalado photographic essay Bibbdi bobbdi boo , returned to painting and now the drawing. Intends to retake the photograph soon.

I will explain how these images finished here. 've Been in the studio of Vilela and, chat vai, chat comes, Bruno strip the closet few copies of minilab, which is a start of a future work. There are pictures of clouds and sky with phrases in Braille. The phrases are excerpts of the poem The Man: The Travels of Carlos Drummond de Andrade (at end of post, I place the poem).

I thought spectacular! It is a photo tactile.

It is to play, not to see. Or, best saying, is for "see" touching, groping.

I asked, "as we scan it and show the braille cool on a computer screen?". It became the doubt. I suggested, "flatbed scanner". It worked. Seeing the images in high resolution, the braille seems 3D.

It is inevitable not remember of the assay Equivalences of Alfred Stieglitz.

Yes! Who does not have pictures of clouds? I have ... I do not have is a photo to feel. Dabbling.

The Man: The Travels

Carlos Drummond de Andrade

The man, beast of the earth so small

annoys-if on Earth

place of much misery and little fun,

makes a rocket, a capsule, a module


Toca to the Moon

descends cautious in Lua

pisa on the Moon

plant pennant on the Moon

experiences the Lua

civilizes the Moon

humanizes the Moon

Lua humanity: so equal to Earth.

The man annoys impacted the moon

Let's go to Mars - ordering their machines.

They obey, man descends on Mars

pisa on Mars

experiences

colonizes

civilizes

humanizes Mars with engenho and art.

Marte humanized, what place square.

Let's the other party?

Claro -; says engineer

sophisticated and docile.

Let's to Venus.

The man puts the foot on Venus,

sees the visa; is this?

idem

idem

idem.


The man melts at cuca if not to Jupiter

proclaiming justice along with injustice

repeat the fossa

repeating the restless

repetitório.

Other planets remain for other colonies.

The space throughout turns Terra-to-earth.

The man arrives to the Sun or gives one back

just to tever?

Not sees that he invents

linen insiderável of living on the Sun

Puts the foot and:

but that annoying that is the Sun, false bull

espanho tamed.

There remain others system outside

the manor to colonize.

When finishing everyone

only remains to man

(Will be equipped?)

the very difficult dangerosíssima trip

of self to himself:

put the foot on the ground

of your heart

experience

colonize

civilize

humanize

man

discovering in their own unexplored entrails

the perennial, unsuspected joy

to live with.

    Wow! Drummond actually has its own greatness. Knowing yourself is the great challenge of man and we always left for last. With respect to photos is a great idea, but it seems that is only to be seen, as I understand the statements in Braille remain flat, a person without vision could not read, then it is to see.
    Hug!
    PS: Nice blog

    Hi Marcio,

    Yes, the sentences are in Braille and can be read by a blind person.

    Hugs.

    Márcio, congratulations by ArcaPress!

    Let us note in passing, a place where we can find Celso Oliveira and Ed Viggiani already deserves prominence and respect.
    Even more than descending into list of photographers integrants, we arrived in dear Ricardo Teles.

    Congratulations once again!
