These are part of a set of themes associated with the LGBTQ+ community that relate to a wider spectrum than that of personal circumstances.  \nWeeds, plants that are spontaneously born at an undesired time and place, appear as language and material to address the experiences associated with homosexuality. As such, the feeling of denial, the discovery of self-love and the sharing of pleasure are associated with this project to emphasize the hidden desires and feelings endured by the participant. \"Spring\" narrates a short episode of the search for answers in a field (one full of weeds) that is familiar to the artist. He learns to walk through a flora that until then was downtrodded; he touches and is touched; he is taken by the hand. He effortlessly responds to the stimuli suggested by the landscape, and turns it into the support for his writing. Furthermore, he involves his past and present in homoerotic undertones, where the role of the male body becomes similar to that of a plant.","space":"For this project it is suggested that the video be projected on a wall at full scale to emphasize the body and its action. The  video should be placed, if possible, on a wall perpendicular to the set of prints. \nIf, for some reason, the projection doesn't work, the transition of the video onto an LCD display device is suggested, accompanied, on the same wall, by the prints.  \nThe prints will be asked to be placed in a triptych.\nThe video should be shown every 10 minutes in both situations.","artists_proposal":null,"members":[],"lang":"en","status":"ok","video_link_password":null,"video_link":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Hk7eglc5-i8","audio_link_password":null,"audio_link":null,"images_link_password":null,"images_link":null,"cellphone":null,"description":null,"estimated_budget":null,"complementary_info":null,"fileCount":10,"names":"\u00c1lvaro","surname":"Oliveira","email":"alvarofariaoliveira@gmail.com","dni_type":"Other","dni":"150619170ZX5","address":"Travessa Gabriel Cardoso Miranda, 97","city":"Santo Tirso","nacionality":"Portuguese","country_id":"185","birthdate":"1996-05-09T23:00:00.000Z","birthdate_2":"1996-05-09T23:00:00.000Z","telephone":"+351936947790","web":"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/alvarojfo\/"}
