ANA TERESA VICENTE
Ana Teresa Vicente is a Portuguese visual artist who, after experiencing a temporary sight problem, began exploring a set of found photographs and its possible readings and perceptions through other senses. From this experimental practice emerged the works Read Me and Touch Me. Such approach to photographic images, according to the artist, engages a "multisensory appeal that entangles touch and sight, a distance required in order to see and the indispensable proximity in order to touch". Following such sensory experiences with images, Vicente further explores the relationship established between image, text and temporality within the archive, from which the work "Untitled (After Sorlin)" is an example. Here, new layers of interpretation are tested through the appropriation of vernacular imagery. "The archive of visual traces that photography can offer", she says, "can become a site of mediation and projection, with connections that slowly unfold and delicately fluctuate with the given context."
Since 2005, Vicente's work has been internationally exhibited, including Facing the Future / After Shot, Taipei Photo Festival, TW; SITUATIONS / The Right to Look, Fotomuseum Winterthur, CH; Selections from the Seagrave Museum, DAAP Gallery, USA; Palimpsesto at Penafiel Museum, PT, Athens Photo Festival, GR, and FORMAT19, UK, Binary/Non-binary, GESTE Paris, FR; Immersive | Imersivo, SNBA, PT; Failure is a Given, Archivo Studio, PT, and Face-Value at the Liverpool John Moores University, UK. In parallel to her artistic practice, she is a lecturer at ESAD.CR (Caldas da Rainha, Portugal).
