Rita Ravasco’s Tempo Sentido is moving to Casa do Comum from 13 November – 8 December.
Tempo Sentido [Time Sensed] is Ravasco’s multimedia digital and on-site installation, originally developed for the Nostalgia exhibition (Universidade Católica Portuguesa, 2024) as part of the current Diffractions issue 8 on the topic of nostalgia. The work consists of three parts: the digital issue cover in conversation with a video-animation, both accessible online, and the material piece.
In this piece Ravasco figuratively represents the human mind as a sensory archive through a web of interconnected objects, representing the way memory and nostalgia can be triggered by sensory experience, creating an endless network of memory, longing and affect across time and space. The close communication between the digital and the physical mirrors the extension of our own lives and memories into digital space and evokes a myriad of questions connected to the functioning of nostalgia as a felt experience fusing diverse memories, times and spaces in the human mind as it is triggered by the physical and the digital.
The piece has been funded by CECC – The Research Centre for Communication and Culture.
