RASTROS
by Alberte Pereira
I remember a text by Martina Deren about the Belgian artist Francis Alÿs, in which she commented that most of us—in our daily activities in cities—"barely pay attention to the details of everyday events, to the symbols, the traces, the urban imprints that form a set of signs, encrypted messages, invisible fragments of the urban fabric."

The Belgian is an artist who intervenes in public space and records his interventions through video recordings and/or photographs.

In the series "RASTROS" I, on the other hand, document the intentional or unintentional interventions of people, the human factor, on public space, which in one way or another transform and modify the urban landscape.

This, along with other series, forms my subjective vision of public space, about a whole, which I have come to call the "PERIPATETIC UNIVERSE." Universe, because it is my vision of a whole, "the urban," and peripatetic, because it is born from walking.
