Maria#2 from Patrícia Corrêa on Vimeo.
Maria#2, from the series Maria, is a work about memory geographies, a portrait of personal reminiscences and past experiences of my grandmother fused with, my one memories and scraps of information, from the range of feminine rites of passage. A narrative of emotional intersections of a body that receives and channels unconscious marks of the Other.
The Woman presented in this work assumes almost an anonymity by the agglutination of identities which may mirror other “Maria’s”.
Maria#2 was presented at Galeria Bielska BWA in Bielsko-Biała (Poland), during the opening of the 3rd edition of Bielsko-Biala Visual Arts Festival, curated by Agata Smalcerz.
Maria is an artistic research where I question, through different mediums, the product of memory in its transfer from body to body in context over times. The movement and aesthetics of memory are the core of this work, for exploring parallel correlated issues, around the female body and it’s the place lato sensu.
In this research I created a series of performances about memory geographies, a portrait of personal reminiscences and past experiences of my grandmother fused with my one memories and scraps of information's from the range of feminine rites of passage.
The embodiment of memory leads me to the symbolic physical performance of several actions with a focus on female body, memories dimensions, anthropometries and temperatures.
The Woman presented in this work assumes almost an anonymity by the agglutination of identities which may mirror other “Maria’s”. A narrative of emotional intersections of a body that receives and channels unconscious marks of the Other.
In a constant redefinition of "what it was" and "how it is remembered" the multiplicity of pasts generate a post-imaginary memory. Is in this auto-mixed-biographism that Maria takes one body and multiple faces. Maria is a migrant body in a collective memory pool. A voyage to the fauna of mirrors which explores the complexity of memory behavior

Patrícia Corrêa (Lisbon, Portugal | 1978) Is an artist, teacher and researcher in contemporary art, originally from Lisbon and currently based in Krakow, Poland. Studied photography at IADE (Creative University, 2002), graduated in Art History (FLUL- University of Lisbon, 2007), pursued her studies in the same area specializing in Contemporary Art (FLUL – University of Lisbon, 2009). Working with performance, photography, video and installation, in her investigations she explores the fragility of the presence of time, using excerpts of life and her memories, as a metaphor of that intangible presence. Currently, she is developing a four-year performance entitled Tempo 4 (Time 4). In this work she is exploring her understanding of time as an existential and cultural concept, as well as, its imprint on her by the repetition of a daily action. Patrícia has exhibited and performed in public spaces, galleries, festivals and museums, such as, Grimmuseum (Berlin, Germany), City Museum of Lisbon (Portugal), VI Art and Culture Biennial of Sao Tome (Sao Tome and Principe), BU - Performing Arts Festival (Bangkok, Thailand), CWS Gallery (Toruń, Poland), WAR<SO>VIE 2013 performance festival (Warsaw, Poland), CIPAF - International Performance Festival (Nicosia, Cyprus) and the 3rd edition of Visual Arts Festival ( Bielsko-Biała, Poland).
