This paper aims to reveal the different lines of though, crucial for the creative process behind the audiovisual sculpture, Estivador de Imagens. The contents presented here, have gone through different steps and stages of maturation. It began from an idea to a sketch, from research to breakthrough, from an ambition to a need, from mistake to certitude. Estivador de Imagens starts with the experimentation of different ways of modeling materials, embedding the sound into the sculpture and framing an illusory abyss through the mirror. These encounters provide space for a fictional image to inhabit. The image takes shape. Turns into skin and the sculpture, its skeleton. Estivador de Imagens exposes my interest in formal and conceptual issues stemming from the intersection between projection and continuous illusory sound environments along with the sculpture. A sculptural photosynthesis, that is, the need to provide a body to an image growing volume in space. The image arises from a physical and haptic urge, close to the act and time dedicated to the sculpture creation. One of the central pillars of this artistic thesis, lies in how image dissemination and virtualization influence the way we communicate, evoke and define what is real or false. Consequently, reality consists of an archive of false images, in virtuality and fictions that, when consumed by us, change their meaning. At an increasing rate, the world is permeated with images that travel across and out of our screens. In a world where image broadcast is dictated by its usage, reality proves out to be schizophrenic. For our pupils to get in touch with reality, which at the slightest miscalculation reveals itself to be pre-designed, eye drops are necessary.
