This book explores a broad experimental approach in a multidisciplinary body of work that refers to photography, literature, comic book, painting and cinema in order to createa story inspired by the myth of Iracema, the “virgin of honey lips” from José de Alencar’s novel, an indigenous woman from the Tabajara tribe who represents the purity, trust and open giving of the virgin land.
Allegory, history and fiction invade the present and stay there, confusing the linearity of Western History and reopening the badly told, unresolved gaps of knowledge. In this hybrid and mobile cartography, the dominant ecosystem is that of the in between space: between times, between techniques, between species, between languages, between formats, between screams and sighs, reality and fiction, sadness and exaltation.
"I dived into my archive to extract poetic forms from the cartographic conjuncture that led me to inhabit, in the last decade, two lands intrinsically connected by the expansionism of modern history: my homeland, Portugal, and the mestizo son, Brazil.
TRANSA appears as a motto for a reflection on contemporary existence, threatened by the limbo and brutality of the colonization processes that are now reversing. The Earth, in this suspended time, seems to echo a deaf cry that brings together all the civilizing forces together - the repressive and the subordinate, those of majority history and minorities, the woman, the black, the indigenous, the colonizer." - Ângela Berlinde
