Eliane Velozo talks on the Suspended Landscape project in relation to the Mind the Gap theme:

Provoked by the theme of this exhibition, I choose some photographs from my ‘Suspended Landscape’ Project where I travel into the spaces, holes, cracks and elevations of the wooden benches at the Inhotim Institute.
I transpose reality.

When my eyes look at the lights and shadows I make my camera capture images full of unexpected meanings.

The current photographs carry with them the original colour palette, the way my camera captured them.

For this project, I went several times to Inhotim, and I keep going there… and every time Ithink about going there again, I already start to foster the possible images that I will create on these wooden benches.
I think this work as always in progress, almost without an end, because depending on each moment of my life, I change my perspectives and surprise myself with other and other imagetic possibilities.
