Abstract

The visual essay Real dream is constructed from violence suffered on the doorstep. In 2014, we suffered a homophobic attack by a group of men in front of the building where my boyfriend and I lived, in the Cidade Baixa neighborhood in Porto Alegre. Since the incident, I have started a process of taking photographs that touch on the real dimension of violence, appealing for a documentary record of the facts, but which is not limited to returning just violence to the imagination again. From this incident, a dirty, strange and aggressive drag also emerges, which manifests itself with a look that is sometimes threatening, sometimes vulnerable, within a frame and lighting that suggest a filmic aura.
