By affections
Contemporary and modern artists that have in common a relation to affective memories and emotional states.
From the contemporary selection for this poetic frame, we highlight two photographs of the series Salt air collection by the artist born in Rio de Janeiro Brígida Baltar.
For the curator and UFPE professor Maria do Carmo Nino (2015), Salt Air collection “emphasizes more the phenomenology than the aesthetics in proposing, through photography, the implied affective and subjective feeling of gathering something imponderable, such as salt air or dew”.
