Clara walked out onto the balcony and leaned against the wall as she looked out onto the Night Court Garden. Distracted by her own thoughts and how her night was going to end, she didn’t notice that she had company until she heard her name being called out. “Well, well, well, look who it is, Laszlo Sigurdson.” she laughed, turning her head to look over at the Captain who she had gotten to know well. “What are you doing out here rather than showing off your dance moves in there?”  @damagcs​

Franny was fine...probably. Most likely.

 But like many of the other (and she hated this word) victims, especially the mundus ones, Franny was sent to the hospital once it was up and running again to treat her injuries professionally.

There was of course the gash where her blood was used in a damn blood ritual (which. fuck being able to play Metallica riffs on banjo and sitar, that was the most metal thing about her), but also a dislocated shoulder and an injury to her hand. With emergency services being down, there also was a possibility of infection from the open wound.

If it were up to her she would’ve been home by now.

But the doctor didn’t seem too pleased with the state of Franny’s hand, so he ordered an x-ray and Franny was sitting in her hospital room awaiting the doctor’s feedback. Which. She was sure some of the fingers in her hand were fractured, it hurt like hell, but that’s what the IV supplying her with drugs was for.

The door opened and she was, for once, relived it wasn’t Cornelius. (He was stressing her out fretting over her. It wasn’t like she was dying, not this time anyway, but he sure worried enough for it.)

“Clara, sweetheart! I was fixin’ to give you a call. I haven’t gotten to thank you for watching Sovanna this whole hell event yet.”

LUZESCRITA

 Pedro Gubeissi Dias dos Santos

 A exposição trabalha com a dialética de vários temas, desde o eterno e o efêmero, até o digital e o analógico, e essas diferenças são mostradas de forma que metade da exposição (onde ficam as fotografias) é “acesa” e a outra (onde ficam as instalações de luz), não há luz exceto às das obras, sendo 36 obras ao todo.

A exposição é realizada por Arnaldo Antunes, que revela o mesmo talento que tem para música com a poesia, mostrando poemas que envolviam trocadilhos, aliterações e ilusões de ótica, Fernando Laszlo, que confere às poesias de Arnaldo Antunes um olhar muito plástico e deixa as poesias muito melhores na medida que agregam o talento de um fotógrafo muito talentoso, e por fim o vídeoartista Walter Silveira, que dá um tom muito atual para a exposição, pois principalmente na “parte escura”, ele faz um trabalho com som e luz que criava sensações impressionantes, sendo o responsável pelas melhores obras (na minha opinião).

O jeito que os três artistas colocaram a sequência das obras dá todo o sentido no final, porque muitas obras faziam mais sentido e ficavam muito mais tocantes no escuro do que no claro, ou vice-versa, e por incrível que pareça, a melhor parte da exposição está na transição entre a parte escura e a parte clara, que é um longo corredor, onde no teto passa um fio de LED violeta que em certos momentos apagava e acendia, enquanto ouvia-se a voz grossa e ressonante de Arnaldo Antunes dizendo “Não há nada na luz”, provocando medo e curiosidade.

A primeira parte da exposição é mais tradicional, mostrando poemas-fotografias de Fernando Laszlo e Arnaldo Antunes, que apesar de ser reconhecível o talento dos dois nas obras, não é tão interessante quanto a segunda parte, muito se deve ao fato de que algumas obras dessa primeira parte só fazem sentido depois de vermos a segunda parte até o fim. Os poemas brincam com perspectiva, sentido e a própria palavra de um jeito inteligente. Além de alguns terem uma construção de sentido muito profunda e intrigante.

Figura 1: Perna Horizontal, 2002. Poema de Arnaldo Antunes. Fotografia/Montagem de Fernando Laszlo. Placa de Policabonato recortada e fresnel de 2.000W. Filme 4x5 Kodak 6105 revelado no processo C41, 40 x 50 cm

Figura 2 Gota a Gota, 2010. Poema-objeto de Walter Silveira. Fotografia de Fernando Laszlo. Tubo de PVC com 29 cm de diâmetro x 153cm de altura, furado, com luz fria dentro e fotografado com câmera digital, com longa exposição no tripé e movimentação de câmera. Foto em metacrilato, 4 fotos de 40x30cmm cada.

A segunda parte faz valer a pena a ida até o lugar, porque não há obras que não paremos para ficar olhando apenas pela beleza estética, mantendo aquela mesma “inteligência” poética da parte clara, com destaque para uma das instalações de Walter Silveira, na qual olhamos por uma “janela” e vemos um quarto com uma cortina que balança ao vento de um ventilador, várias roupas jogadas no chão, um machado apoiado na parede e um abajur aceso, projetando letras na cortina, e o nome da instalação é “Alguma Coisa Aconteceu Aqui”.

Figura 3: Muita Luz Cega, 2006. Poema-objeto de Arnaldo Antunes. Fotografia de Fernando Lazslo. Caixa de Acrílico preta, recortada a laser e iluminada por lâmpadas de luz fria, 92 x 45 x45cm. Filme Kodak EPP120. Foto Lambda, 40x50cm

 Luzescrita é altamente recomendável para qualquer público exatamente por ter um caráter versátil, dado que envolve poesia, fotografia e audiovisual de um modo muito tocante. A exposição mostra o talento dos 3 artistas em um espaço extremamente bom que é o Espaço Cultural Porto Seguro, pois o lugar tem funcionários muito atenciosos, que fornecem um serviço muito bom de guarda volume e transporte de van até a Estação Luz totalmente de graça.
