Double performative video. On the left side, on the terrace of the artist’s new flat, the artist’s ex-lover describes the place where they had been living together until recently. To the right, we follow the artist as he walks about the flat following the description while recording what he sees with his cellphone camera, having broken into the flat through a window.

Using this common communication device to capture images and then transmit them via the internet is a clear anti HD choice, favouring the low-definition aesthetics of the electronic device that has become most close to us, being used intensely over the whole range of contemporary emotional relationships (from love to friendship, from family to extra conjugal affairs, from dating to flirt, etc.).

Here, the cellphone has been given the status of the technology of affection and its camera stands for the glance of the artist.

The video ends with a reference to the classical theme of the nude in the arts, an evocative reminder of a certain collective memory of privacy that doubles up as a sharing of a personal memory.

This work was created as part of a project called "A História é Clandestina" (The Story is Clandestine), in which 6 artists (Eunice Gonçalves Duarte, Igor Stromajer, Luís Castro, Rita Lucas Coelho, Rui Mourão and Yiannis Diamantis) exhibited 6 performative videos of intimate stories from memories mediated by technologic recordings.
