Thermidor

About Me

O lado escuro do sonho exprime-se numa sinfonia de reminiscências, quiçá de um passado-futuro nunca nosso, aquele que na distância excita a imaginação. Construindo paisagens de som eléctrico, eclético, procurando a liberdade nas emoções difusas, pintando o espaco com estranhas vozes que perpetuam desejos de vida - e morte - tu nascestes Thermidor. Em ti mil palavras se fundiram numa única voz de intenção, de mil caminhos interrompidos e novos começos és feito, de fins para sempre esquecidos, tu és continua renovação. Em ti o calor das eras se acumula, como erosão da memória do que nunca foi. Em ti Thermidor renasce a Fénix uma vez mais...
Thermidor is an audiovisual experience/installation that has made its debut live in August 2005. An evergrowing project, nowadays working with different video artists from the portuguese contemporary scene for the most complete and unique sensorial experience, bearing a cenographic and theatrical edge.
J. has so far experimented in many different areas of the creative process. Having been deeply involved with free hand drawing since the age of four, later getting a degree in architecture, the mediums chosen have since passed through fantasy illustration, modelation, writing, comics, architecture projects, theatric performance and even poetry recitals. Currently developing a side-project in the form of a Graphic Novel connected with the project, expanding the ever growing limits of the Thermidor Universe. The Connexion Bizarre zine has, in a number of ways, been of precious support.
