Abstract(s)
Dos mitos e dos imaginários especificamente norte-americanos - o omnipresente baseball e o inevitável Wild West - até às narrativas fotográficas tornadas (demasiadas) atuais pelas nuvens negras de guerra que pairam, de novo, literalmente, sobre Europa, o projeto fotográfico de David Levinthal busca modos de endereçamento intencionais e conexões com visualidades mais ou menos batidas pela história extremamente violenta do século XX, que já viu eclodir duas mortíferas guerras mundiais. Confrontam-se esses cenários bélicos, mais ou menos idealizados, com o atual quadro contemporâneos (vivido no preciso momento em que se escreve este texto) que têm a destruição e o horror como pano de fundo.
From the specifically North American myths and imaginaries (the omnipresent baseball and the inevitable Wild West) to the photographic narratives made (too) current by the dark clouds of war that are literally over Europe again, David Levinthal´s project seeks intentional ways of addressing and connections with visualities consolidated by the extremely violent history of the 20th century, which has already seen the outbreak of two deadly world wars. These warlike scenarios, more or less idealized, are confronted with the current contemporary framework (experienced at the very moment this text is being written) that has destruction and horror as its backdrop.
