Proposal for landscape invention

Based on instructions, the installation consisted of 107 horse betting tickets at the Gávea Jockey Club [RJ]. The data printed on the document, subject to obliteration by time, attests to the horse's time, place, prize, and name, chosen not for its competitive qualities but for its term, which refers to some element of the Landscape. The name is the axis from which the tickets are gathered, revealing a different logic to the game. A file of losers. The tickets are fixed to the wall by a wooden fillet surrounding them, which is the back of the frame made apparent. In this way, the intention is to allude to a verse of the landscape or instead to show it as a denaturing emergence of the world. I'm interested in thinking about the gesture at the work's origin and the qualities of the images invented in affinity with discussions about the photographic.
