Sofia Borges is a conceptual artist who uses photography, assemblage and performance to delve into philosophical questions surrounding the artifacts of culture, in special the museological object, and their relation to matter, to the transmutation of the meaning of that matter throughout time, and to being, consequently, intricate and liquid manifestations of culture [ she wrote; i quote ]

children and childhood in the uncomfort zone beyond the comfort pick up your children and throw them at the world  — but do it with a camera 

Women re-revising their childhood; their adolescence; their children as memory props, children as merch

it’s all become just another book on the shelf

Stages
Music. Lyrics. Dance. Occasion
providers of the occasion are those receiving greatest reward.
We are not randomly inlueninfluenced. There is a shuffle of the influence/exposure.
Making pictures are based, prompted by triggers & response repetition
this things produce that slide show in your psyche, visual paths,

Much 21st century photography is an extended caption.
Limited paths
cards in a deck there is a limited number but an infinite shuffle 

A limited number but an unlimited shuffle 

The triggering more fix the Henry Home Smith and the glass sculpture trigger the same interactions shapes on the Earth are of the Earth shapes within a culture are of the culture

aura: divinity

stature of being beyond

calling something cinematic provides the heightened reverence of the commercial cathedral of movies 
calling a movie something that is entertainment for children and board workers calling at cinema turns it into the chapel of culture of high culture the no brow eyebrow to the pinky 
wearing a wife beater's becomes a member of the beefeaters

covid & artworlds

by destroying the gallery and growing the studio

as the Gallery closed the studio opened 
as the art fair closed the bookstore opened 
now the collector returns and the studio becomes a banana stand
