The
solo Intermission
came out of the desire investigate a working procedure in response to
the question 'How can I speak through
the other and how can the other speak through what I am proposing?'
that involved working with a medium that I am not so familiar with, video also involving the dichotomy between
amateur and professional, since I choose to engage in a joint-creation with a professional video artist.

The first step was to
establish the conditions through which the work would develop and
taking into account the specificity of medium,

The description of the
procedure reads as follow:
The
initiator, joint-creator
A (Ana Monteiro), sends the first motto in form of a sentence based on what I
perceived at that moment to be
an overarching issue of the project in relation to dealing with different frames of attention: 'Placing, displacing, Misplacing'.

The
joint-creator
B, (Ivo Serra), does the first 1 minute and 2 second video as a response to
the motto plus he writes another short
sentence that I called inter-title (in reference to the text present in between frames in silent films) and send it to joint-creator A by email.

The
procedure repeats until each joint-creator
did five videos with the duration of one minute two second each.
None of the joint-creators ever sees or talks about the videos that are being made until the editing.
The communication process is mediated exclusively through the intertitles.
