PONTO MORTO
This is the Portuguese word for that moment when you car is accelerating just enough to avoid going back downhill. You are pushing the pedal, and as a result, you are standing still.
This work arises from the need to move, to not stop. It was made at a time when the whole planet froze, industries stopped, schools stood empty and office buildings had their lights off for months. Yet there is something in us that cannot stop.
What is that sensation?
What things differentiate us from mere machines that turn cold at the flick of a switch?
This work attempts to answer some of those questions.
The rebellion of movement, at a time when everyone was at a standstill.
