Agulhas series is composed by 80 b&w photographs produced in 35mm negatives. It comprises a preliminary research of objects that are appreciated, often related to positive feelings and affective memories that I associate to the beautiful, tasty, fragrant, and to comfort. Starting point is: “I like that…”. Followed by a physical intervention that fights this emotional value, raising doubts over the initial premisse of object esteem. Discomfort arises from the interaction with other decontextualised albeit equally banal object, that seems to have a life in its own - odd relationships.
