| Jose Dávila, Shadow As Rumour, 2013 |
«Dávila comments on the role of images in our cultural and subjective memory, and develops an active relationship between the work and the viewer - we are compelled to fill in the void, recurring to our memory or imagination, thus performing a creative act.» Memory is triggered by ways of space-scapes. This moments can be affected by smell (olfactory memory), sound (echoic memory) and/or vision (iconic memory) events. It would bring, then, a collection of events stored throughout time, which refer closelly to the event being engaged with. This is a recurrence of the same moments/images throughout time. Their is nothing new, just an accumulation of experiences closelly related with each other.

«The book dust jackets and covers are arranged in a manner reminiscent of a modernist grid.» in the same manner as Brazil capital city, Brazilia. «Soares' accumulation is not a collections: it is text, and each object that she collects is a quotation. Refuting the possibility of a single meaning the artist invite the viewer/reader to perform a creative act and compose new narratives, not to decipher them.»

«Printed on each page, a sentence connoting the passage of time. ... these works deconstruct the structure of the novel, inviting the viewer to reconfigure the pieces into new, subjective narratives.»
