Circumnavigation – Lisbon

Circumnavigation works as closely as possible to bodies. Here, bodies have the same function and are of the same nature as the landscapes. Circumnavigation is concerned with details. The details of things that are seen and shown; details of things that are moved, touched. Detail involves the isolation of figures, bodies, landscapes. It involves precision and determination. Far from being exhaustive and tautologous, the careful attention to detail is comparable to the traveller’s uniqueness. It is a form of interiority.
It tells a story and does not explain. The art of Circum is that of the poetic ellipse.
