/// Common Core

The movement produced by planet Earth in its orbit was able to measure the distance of the stars. In astronomy, the term “parallax” means the apparent difference in the distance of an object between observers at different locations. This displacement is motivated by the observation of more than one point of view, and in this way, the perception of the distance of the stars gains greater clarity.

The potential difference that perception is capable of producing according to a point of view is something that presupposes the different layers of reading that a work of art can gain, a fact experienced by modern Sculpture, in which the spectator was able to surround the work, perceiving the supposed nuances of form.

Here, Thiago Antonio presents a set of works that are related through an intimate and affective perspective, in which the spectator, either through poetry – or through the written word – or through the images and objects that the artist produces, is invited to investigate a particular universe, but one that is always produced in contact with the other or through the singularity of life.

The observer will be faced with different perspectives, whether through the production of videobooks, objects, drawings, installations or poems, the artist builds his constellation under an influence that should be measured by affection, resulting from his creative power, and which perhaps may it also be part of all of us, something like a germ that becomes common, but not as something trivial, but as a kind of shareable core, from which we become common, something that makes life potent, moved precisely by the act of creating new worlds – or other universes.
