Untitled

Untitled (2026) consists of the act of formulating an idea for a performance, of carrying it out, and of delivering it, in an academic context. It was carried out over the span of a month, between the moment a performance was requested and the moment it was presented as finished, in the Performance course, to Professor João Onofre, at FBAUL.

The work considers the creative act as an artistic object, and creates a circular situation in which the work can only be formulated as it is made, while, by suppressing the result as a term distinct from the process, it admits no exterior point from which it could be observed or evaluated without that gaze itself becoming part of it, calling into question the academic system from which it arises.

Two complementary records are available – a written document and a video – which, being at once documentation and action, and therefore describing their own formulation, take on the role of object and image of the object.
