BES REVELAÇÃO
from 18 NOV 2006 to 14 JAN 2007
The Serralves Villa hosted the BES Revelação 2006 exhibition for the second consecutive year, presenting unpublished works by João Serra, Nuno Maya, Bruno Ramos and Frederico Fazenda – the winners of the 2nd edition of the BES Revelação award. As a joint initiative in the area of Photography, between the Banco Espírito Santo and the Serralves Foundation, the exhibition was curated by art critic, Liliana Coutinho.
João Serra presented a series of photographs of several fast-eroding outlying neighbourhoods in Lisbon. While upholding his compositional and chromatic sophistication, the artist focused on a unique interplay between poetry and politics. Nuno Maya exhibited the project, "Perpetual Ephemeral Movements” - an installation that combines photographic printing with video, in a project that aims to trace an itinerary between the behavioural patterns of human movements in urban public and architectural spaces. Bruno Ramos presented a series of large-format photographs, entitled "Tragedy of a lone man” that demonstrate a character in day-to-day situations and then introduces a strange atmosphere when the action is made and by means of the highly staged appearance of the photographs. Frederico Fazenda displayed "Satellite” - a video installation that creates a sensorial device through which the modes of perceiving an experience and being in a specific place are questioned.
