Counterpoint

Abstract

This project questions the dialogue between photography and poetry. The image summons a poem and this, in turn, summons another image within the framework of an unfolding of questions about the conditions in which we inhabit the world. The sequence dialogues with that which concerns oneself and with that which opens and closes life in dynamics of pleasure and suffering. The idea is that both registers overdetermine each other to correspond, to produce a friction, to mark the opacity of an experience, to open lines of meaning, to point to that which has no word or to try to border on something unnamable. What is the dialogic behind the monologue of artistic production? The project emerges as an aesthetic exploration of two people who have tried to re-articulate different discourses and who have sought another way of conversing.
