HOPE

»Hope, as the first perception of the day ahead in an unknown future. Light breaks through uncertainty.«

Alice Quaresma pushes photography beyond the flat surface, painting lines over her images to break the camera's perfection and return the hand's gesture to the foreground. During the first weeks of lockdown, she kept a visual diary documenting hope — light, color, fragments of normalcy, each image holding onto something. The fragrance reminds us of the vital need for hope.

FÀP Journals Olfactive Journals

Over fixed periods, we invite artists to keep a diary with us—through audio, text, video, image. They share textures, thoughts and experiences from that time. At the diary's close, our perfumer creates a fragrance—not as translation, but as portrait. A period in the artist's life, filtered through another's attention. The scent becomes an anchor, but not for preservation. For return. For continuation in another form.


 
 
 
Artist-Alice-Quaresma-Folie-A-Plusieurs-Perfume

Alice Quaresma has been experimenting with materials that allow her photographs to be sensorial and playful, pushing the boundaries of photography as a flat surface. She uses images from her personal photo archive to elaborate on the idea of displacement and identity. The painted lines over the images break the perfection of the camera and bring the beauty of the hand gesture to the foreground, the work questions photography’s rigid assertion of objectivity. The artist uses her fascination for the ocean as a place of discovery. Alice explores the ludic world of photography experimenting with the condition of a work in progress, bringing less rational qualities to her photographs.
