Projeto Lá Tinha

Portugalia – Portugal

Lizbona – Lisboa

During the residence program in an exercise of collaborative creation (constallation), organizing themselves into five groups, jointly decided the space to be photographed and each one performs a step in the process of obtaining an image: load the camera obscura, photograph, reveal and scan / the final piece: a unique matrix.

Curious about the simplicity and versatility of the pinhole cameras and with the desire to create a perspective recycling tool, Projeto Lá Tinha began to develop a mediation tool in which neighbourhood's residents from the suburbs of the city could show their point of view. sight about the place in which they live through a look without filters created by themselves.

Given the educational potential of the proposal, we broaden the focus and share the project also in educational and artistic contexts of any kind.

In practice, intrinsically questioning: anxiety caused by the excessed use of the digital and it’s instantaneous answer, conversely the importance of the manual process, and the value or the price of the things, buying or creating our leisure time, as well.

Without the need for many material resources, reusing and creating our own games with what we have available, stimulating curiosity, having awareness of our daily situations to think in new ways of expression.

We believe in:
Collaboration and listening,
Give new meanings for the things,
Stimulate the autonomy and the personal capacity to (re) create.
Respect the time of each process and person.
