Focusing on the territory of images and sounds, Miragem emerges as an encounter of
kinematic arts comprising the exhibiton of films on installed or found screens in
different natural environments, a programme of creative workshops, and a series of conversations
and debates. Shaped by a reiterated inquiry for the potential relationships between the
programme and the local cultural, natural and human context, it conjures images with worlds as much as
experimentation with commitment. Miragem — kinematic arts in the landscape originates from the
island of Pico, in the Azores archipelago, and its itinerant and peripheral in its genesis, as well as
decentralized in relation to traditional spaces of exhibition and artistic creation. Thus, it manifests
in the forest, in the grotto, in the lava fields by the sea, in the plateau, in a cellar on harvest day,
on the altar of a hermitage.
