Juliana Cerqueira Leite

Fold Series, I,II,III, 2013

In the Fold and Gesture series, Cerqueira Leite rearticulates these relations of embodied action [creative or just plain motivated and directional] and representation, posing in different ways again the question of where bodily movement “ends” and art “begins.” In Fold, the artist poses, photographs herself with old-fashioned slide film, and then, through a series of projections, foldings, and rephotographings, produces a blue field of body parts fragmented and haunted by the tension between the signification of her original gestural actions and the multiple representational actions that distorted and refigured this movement into a ghostly image field. - Amelia Jones (Tracing the Body: Gesture and Materiality in the Work of Juliana Cerqueira Leite)
