The shoot stems from activities carried out in the Postgraduate Programme in Arts (IA/Unesp), in the course “Storytelling and Walking with Ancestors: Ceramics and Its Contributions to Decolonial Thinking”, from the research line of Artistic Processes and Procedures. The classes aimed to relate practices with clay, based on the participants’
affections and memories. Thus, the creations focused on the search for the deepest and most meaningful feelings, affectively. The Infinite was conceived from a wristwatch
belonging to a father who is no longer with us, but whose watch stopped at the moment
of his death. This object/artifact was part of a tactile memory game (touching it and
describing it with closed eyes, and the owner had to identify himself based on a colleague’s
interpretations). We divided the shoot into two parts: the first is the arrival in the classroom
and the affective act; the second presents Joana D’Barro, the mother who received our
requests in her flames. Joana D’Barro is a kiln that illustrates the process of firing the pieces,
not to consume them, but to give them durability, retaining a little more of the memory of the creations.
