Sinopse
The objects have an embedded memory in them, a passage of knowledge and gestures, one of the facets of their mobility. But they also gain a subjective trace, the result of the relationship with the subject: memory of moments of interaction and the emotions added to them. These feelings help to make intelligible a certain unfolding of language, a willingness to seek a given mirroring in the object, an objectual alterity. Objects help to make present, something that cinema, as a temporal object, also allows us to understand in a certain way. “Objects Between Us”, by Júlio Alves, encourages us to think about this relationship between objectuality and the potential of cinema. Cinema as a matrix from which it would be possible, more than visualizing this inscribed memory, to propose a space, sometimes paradoxical, where objects and their materiality transcend use and are character, engine, gaze.
