The partnership between Ana and John Paul, It arose spontaneously as a dialog imaged through Whatsapp. One sent an image, the other interpreted and sent back a new image that could be read as an answer, equivalence, a graphical or conceptual analogy. The exchange took place in the time required to be thought, produced or found and this time was also part of the game, subverting the immediacy of the medium. Photographed exclusively with mobile.
The provocations have become a constant stimulus to thought and to look, visually developing an own lexicon. Eventually, analyzing all the images changes, the two photographers realized as the material contained questions about contemporary communication.
At a time when millions of photos are posted every day and emoji, memes and giffs take the place of words and the time between messaging practically does not exist – is that images are in fact read? The speed limited vocabulary and decreases the quality of dialogue? If images posted on social networks require a unique interpretation, what is the place for imagination?
From these questions, Ana and John decided to realize the work in the photobook format was named N.R.A. "None of the answers". The first two volumes have won the world: photobooks participating in fairs in Lisbon, Madrid, Galicia and running by Brazil. The work has participated in group exhibitions in its shape to the wall at the Contemporary Art Museum of Jataí (where was awarded) Centro Cultural Bernardo Mascarenhas in Juiz de Fora and as a projection, during the "Photo Invasion" in RedBull Station in Sao Paulo.
Now, work gets a new reading and, curated by Marian Starosta and Ron Maltz, expands its name to 1 + 1>2, opening the conversation to the participation of all. With unpublished images published in the coming weeks in @ummaisummaiorquedois profile on Instagram, users will be asked to answer the visual proposals with your images, using a # of each proposal. The exhibition, diptychs with the artists and the result of dialogue with the public, will happen in the Atelie Image, in Rio de Janeiro, with the opening day 25 January, and will be updated weekly with new images proposed and answered by the participants to 20 March 2019.
