João Pedro Amorim
João Pedro Amorim is a visual artist and a PhD candidate (with a FCT fellowship) at the Research Center for Science and Technology of the Arts CITAR, at the School of Arts at Universidade Católica Portuguesa (Porto), where he’s also a lecturer. His work emerges from speculations around images of different regimes and qualities and on the contemplation of the mechanisms of perception. Working with moving images, photography and text, he creates surfaces onto which the subject projects itself and discovers the uncertainty of things in the concreteness of matter. His papers have been published in indexed journals (Web of Science and Scopus), in publications such as OnCurating and Membrana, and he coordinated the catalogue raisonné of the moving image works by Julião Sarmento, edited by Nuno Crespo and published by Documenta/Sistema Solar.
