Synopsis:

The Olhos d'água project won the V Marcantonio Vilaça/ FUNARTE Award in 2013 and the video won the Acquisition Award at the XVIII Cerveira Biennial in 2015.

The Olhos d'água exhibition, which this video was a part of, was a great tribute to my father, a young 27-year-old Portuguese man who died in a plane crash in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, when my mother was pregnant with me. A unexpectedly interrupted journey. This video brings a complex symbology, the shattering and dissolution of his body in the sea, the fado, the waiting for someone who will never come back, the blue of Guanabara Bay where the plane crashed, and the blue that made its mark in my father's life, who used this color in his drawings and diary covers.
