The fold, a concept created by Gilles Deleuze, is a form of action that creates and invents its own thought. This process is not voluntary and autonomous; rather, it is similar to the folds generated by the forces of physics in the waters of the sea. Waves are folds that arise in a collective process, following a line of action that is coherent with the processes inherent to nature. (Maribel Sobreira). DOBRA – Inflexões de um plano sobre um corpo, is a video installation composed of four projections and a sound piece. It explores the classical object-body relationship and the interconnections between sculpture and performance, where touch and feeling are the key elements in deconstructing the dialogue between the two artistic fields. This meeting between the cold, hard, breakable sculpture and the smooth, flexible, warm human body is central to the piece. Mariana Ramos’ plaster forms, designed to be touched, dressed, hung, transported, or confused with a body—though they are sculptures, not bodies—propel the movements of Sílvia Real, Valentina Parravicini, Pedro Ramos, and Sandra Rosado. The intention is to produce four narratives that confront each other through the projected images, unified by Sérgio Pelagio’s sound design.
