Abstract

Julião Sarmento’s body of work crosses artistic disciplines and fields. The artist resorts to film and video as a means to reach the artistic expression of an idea, open to an infinitude of interpretations. This audiovisual essay looks at the way Julião Sarmento works with moving images, focusing in three main perspectives: the word, the (feminine) body and rhythm. We conclude that each one of Sarmento’s works builds a system of codes, of communication, that opens new understandings of the human relation with the ‘real’.

Keywords: Julião Sarmento, Filmworks, Moving image, The real

Sound today represents much more than a musical element or even an acoustic and physical phenomenon. Since the 1970s, the singularity impulse of the moment in music has shaped new paths and disciplines with its new grammars and wills. Art through sound, as a practice, takes advantage, describes, analyzes, executes and interrogates the condition of the sound and the processes by which it operates. Thus, any remaining musical argument is negated by a predominant extravagance of unintentionality, multiplicity, silence or noise. At the same time, the role of technology in this evolution is undeniable. The development and use of computational tools and media have become a constant and the majority of the art through sound is affected by it, in a symbiosis with technology that radically transforms the landscape for the practice of the arts.This special issue of the JSTA, intend to address sound as a bundle of practices that can either arise from, lead to, or use sound as a tool of world building.
