From here on emerged, not as a purpose but as a consequence, both a principle of economy in the production of new imaginaries, and the beginning of an investigation about the different life cycles that photographs have, according to their existence in the world of subjects and their representations. I thought that many of the photographs that I found on the verge of abandon asked for (and also deserved…) a new life, that is, some resignification or a new symbolic function.
I started with the vernacular, which seemed the most natural to me, revisiting and reusing images from family albums. Soon after, I was compelled to enter the magical territory of cinema and its direct relationship with the photographic device. Newly admitted to the post-graduation program at the School of Communications and Arts at USP, having cinema as my main area, the 35mm photograms discarded in the garbage of ECA’s editing room immediately became objects of scrutiny and desire.
The photogram isolated from its context is like a survivor that tells about the suspension of a time that has passed, which is revised (and edited), again, as phantasmagoria. If the phantasmagoria leaves no trace, as soon as the cinematographic device is turned off, the photogram is the proof of its existence. Through mechanisms of intertextuality with painting, advertising, art history and photography, there was in the photograms a myriad of possibilities for reading this ‘suspended time of time’, paraphrasing Maurício Lissovsky, ‘a time of unlimited duration, but determined to end’. The anti-cinema was a cinema in reverse.
Parallel to the frames transformed into large format images there was a small group of objects where movement was something invented or attributed, as if the suspension of time could happen from a collage of photographic images; however, the anti-cinema, here, was a humorous pastiche of what in the 19th century was the phantasmagoria that oscillated between photography and cinema.

Como se a aparente falta de atenção fosse um modo de despojar as coisas de sua função e estar de olho na forma. Na obra de Nicolás Robbio, infiltra-se um impulso no qual não se tem conhecimento previamente do quê se está procurando. Implementa-se, pelo contrário, um gesto de tateio e de sondagem intuitiva de texturas, detalhes, superfícies, situações ou cenas do acaso cotidiano.” trecho de ‘Onde cabe o olho’, 2022, de Clarisa Appendino.[:en]“Collecting, gathering involves an attitude of search and a way of gazing, apparently distracted.
