O Passado e o Presente


Este é um quadro de contrastes entre o passado e o presente, conseguindo como resultado final uma composição harmoniosa e agradável.
Comecemos então por analisar o ambiente envolvente, uma divisão com aspecto mal tratado, grafittis nas paredes, um qualquer edifício abandonado de uma grande cidade. Em frente, um lance de escadas conduz-nos a uma janela luminosa, bem tratada, limpa, uma abertura para o mundo de luz lá fora, que em nada se assemelha ao resto da divisão.
Esta janela lembra-me uma janela antiga, de grande casarão, mas também a figura que está na escada me transporta, de alguma forma, para algumas décadas atrás. Estaria o nosso artista, de forma metafórica a enaltecer o passado, colocando-o um pouco acima do presente degradado?
Ao fundo da escada, sentada no chão, contra a parede graffitada, uma rapariga com aspecto mais moderno e de pés descalços, parece ouvir a melodia que a mulher sobre a escada dança.
No meio das duas, como se juntasse os dois mundos, uma grafonola está pousada no chão. Talvez seja ela que emane a melodia que parece unir estas duas mulheres.
Existe alguma semelhança entre elas, talvez sejam parentes, talvez a imagem iluminada seja uma recordação da rapariga sentada no chão. Recorda alguém que ama, recorda os seus momentos áureos, ou então, deseja que eles cheguem por fim, imaginando-se a dançar num palco enorme e iluminado pelos sorrisos de quem a observa.
Ou, no final de contas, talvez a verdadeira protagonista desta obra seja, na verdade, a música, simbolizada pela presença da grafonola. A música, capaz de unir dois opostos, capaz de interligar o passado e o presente.
Ao lado desta, encontramos ainda outro elemento, aparentemente aleatório, mas com uma posição demasiado destacada para o ser: um vaso. Qual o seu papel nesta pintura? É possível que o autor estivesse a tentar transmitir uma mensagem... Talvez nos queira dizer que o papel que a música desempenha, poderá ser desempenhado pela arte no geral.

Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes

This is not the sort of show which I usually talk about on this blog. However, as a psychologist, I’m usually quite curious in regards to criminals and their minds; and one of these days I started watching this documentary on Netflix . Taking into consideration the kind of thing this is, I can’t say I ‘liked’ it. I mean what you see in there is nothing to like, but I was rather terrified, which is probably the usual response. Nonetheless, it was definitely a good documentary. The eyes of a killer Everything displayed in this story was terrible. The descriptions, Bundy’s posture, everything seemed like some sort of horror show, putting into perspective what we may consider to be lucky or unlucky in this life. Before I even start watching it, I read somewhere that this was the kind of thing you shouldn’t watch alone. Sounds accurate right now. At the time, and considering my, mostly academic, experience, I didn’t think that this could actually be so upsetting.
