Description

Tese de mestrado, Pintura, Universidade de Lisboa, Faculdade de Belas Artes, 2013 From a set of photographs of my own, on the theme Ophelia, this work focuses on the issue of self-portrait from this figure. Thus, and as a result of previous experience in the field of photography, this project is the systematization and clarification of the concepts discussed and specifically the photographic self-portrait as fiction. This dissertation aims to deepen and relate the following concepts: the relationship between Nature and the feminine; horizontal body as a place of sleep and death and its relation to horizontality of Earth; the figure of Ophelia and the contemplation of the beauty of death; sleep drowned body: the relation between female and water to the death of a drowned body; the representation of death: from painting and post-mortem photography; the simulation of own death or the self-portrait as ficcion and Ophelia figure as fiction of the self-portrait. Alongside the development and relationship of these concepts, the practical part of this project, resulting in a series of photographs, almost all black and white, in which the figure of Ophelia is present as fiction of self-portrait. It is not intended to represent or recreate this character, it’s from the self-portrait that the figure of Ophelia emerges
