The brilliance of religious art

"Evocation" (also known as "Tête du Christ" or "Inspiration d'une mosaïque à Ravenne") by Odilon Redon

2023

A tristeza infinita que me inspira a frequência de um rito religioso cristão é inversamente proporcional à embriaguez baudelairiana que extraio de iluminuras, vitrais, ícones ortodoxos, corais de J. S. Bach, textos de Etty Hillesum ou filmes de Carl Dreyer. 

Fosse qual fosse o lugar de sentido que o projeto "Pegada luminosa" me permitisse atingir, o seu ponto de partida, o seu motor, foi tão-somente esta agitação peculiar da minha erótica.

As filmagens terminaram a 11 de maio.

The infinite sadness instilled in me by the attendance of a Christian rite is inversely proportional to the Baudelairean intoxication that I derive from illuminated manuscripts, stained glass windows, orthodox icons, chorales by J. S. Bach, texts by Etty Hillesum or films by Carl Dreyer.

Whatever scope of meaning the "Light footprint" project eventually leads me to, its starting point, its drive, was just this peculiar agitation of my erotica.

Filming ended on May 11th.
