Pedro Barateiro’s poetic photographs, drawings and installations explore the production of social and ideological space, the interpretation of images, and our mediated experience of seeing the world. For the Sydney Biennale, Barateiro has created a group of 82 ‘videopoems’, to be screened (one per day) for the duration of the exhibition in a constructed ‘cinema’ on Cockatoo Island. The artist first creates the films and then adds text and voiceovers, exploring the construction of poetics and adding layers of meaning. Barateiro combines original footage and texts with texts and ideas from writers such as Gertrude Stein, Michel de Certeau, Julia Kristeva and Jacques Derrida. While the videos are grouped into themes – such as the self, architecture, mapping, drawing, politics and aesthetics – each video is an individual work; together they create a composition of fragments that flow from one day to the next.
