COLUMBÓFILOS / FANCIERS
directed by Jonathas de Andrade
art | dcp | 11’ | poster | 2024
synopsis
Columbófilos is featured in the exhibition 'Sobrevoo,' resulting from an artistic residency by Jonathas de Andrade in Porto throughout 2023. His work focused on immersing himself in the world of associations, club culture, and traditional neighborhoods in the city. Experiencing the ongoing changes in social and urban fabric during this period, he was interested in understanding the life of resistance spaces that he perceived as the 'soul of the city.' Similar to his previous film works, Jonathas de Andrade started with a proposal to groups of people to stage fictional situations capable of resonating with their social and affective contexts.
In this work, Jonathas de Andrade engaged with members of the Associação Columbófila do Porto, reviving his interest in observing the relationship between humans and animals, and inter-species interactions. As an alternative to the common release from trucks, the pigeons were released by hand, intensifying the spirit of care and connection in this sport, not indifferent to contemporary ideas of nostalgia.
