Tendo como ponto de partida a relação de identificação que todos nós buscamos na natureza e inspirada pela série Equivalents, do fotógrafo americano Alfred Stieglitz (pequenas fotografias a preto e branco de nuvens e que ele considerava serem equivalentes de seus próprios sentimentos e emoções mais sinceras), comecei a produzir imagens do céu nas mais variadas situações de tempo, lugar e horário. Cada imagem é única, ou seja, nunca nunca será repetida, embora sejam sempre apresentadas em grandes quantidades. A serialização ad infinitum busca refletir não somente a constante transformação a que estamos submetidos, mas também, através do acúmulo, a banalização do significado que a representação das nuvens tem na história da arte, ou seja, deixam de se associar ao sublime, passando a representar o excesso e a diversidade.
Considering our constant search for identification with nature and inspired by Alfred Stieglitz’s series Equivalents (beautiful, tiny black and white prints of clouds that he considered to be equivalents of his most sincere feelings and emotions) I begun to photograph the sky in various situations of time and place. Every final print is a unique edition, so that images are never repeated, although they are always displayed in great quantities. The serialization ad infinium reflects on the constant changes we are all subject to as well as chalenges the common association of clouds motifs with the idea of the sublime representing instead the excessiveness and diversity.
