In .PERSEVERANTIA , Gonçalo T. Matias uses his archive to reflect visually on facets of his identity. Incorporating his photographic practice of an experimental nature, the author builds a fictional field notebook, rooted in the notes of his archive.
The themes of the intimacy and territory, fill the pages of .PERSEVERANTIA punctuated by personal issues of relationships and decisions. This is a deeply personal work where the portrayed territory takes on new meanings.
Inspired by the notebook that Artur Pastor built for the Direção-Geral de Extensão Rural, do Ministério da Agricultura e Pescas, in the 20th century, entitled “A fotografia e a agricultura”, .PERSEVERANTIA adopts the binomial Fact Sheet and Image as the vehicle for the guide the reader through the work. This duality, in form and content, allows the exploration of two parallel but distinct narratives that use the same route to discourse on different aspects of Gonçalo T. Matias.
