Susana Gaudêncio | Objectos de companhia para um mundo aparentemente continuo

About

On the strangeness of the contemporary world, the philosopher Odo Marquard (1999) states that "the numerous scientific and technical advances existing in a society impose an additional obstacle on individuals in acquiring and employ experience in a world where, what is familiar and close, rapidly becomes strange." This strangeness can be the result of a process of acceleration of life and daily life, in which, for example, a more obscure determination of the origins of certain problems converges; A more volatile division of power; A frontier in access to power; Hidden opponents; Drastic changes in the environment around us - rural or urban, the rapid obsolescence of objects, our countless heterodox social and networking. Everything collaborates to feel the most nebulous and ambiguous world, victims and inhabitants of a Pandora's box, in a revised and augmented variant.

"Objectos de Companhia para um Mundo Aparentemente Contínuo" inhabits this strangeness and it is organized according to a logic an opened or fragmented content. It is an unfinished hiking trail - an artistic path and a fiction.
