The videoart “I, who ignore so many things, know that I ignore one more" is based on a short story by Brazilian writer Vilma Aguiar. The film aims to ponder between decisions, choices, and mistakes in order to understand the present and project the future through observations about the past, as the misunderstandings resulting from a time full of certainties led us to a hazy and fluctuating period between apathy, anesthesia, post-truth, torment, endless work-fun, euphoria, and fervor. Thus, aware of the yes and no, we could let ourselves be carried away by oscillations, abuse time, and get lost in it, in a lucid labyrinth.

Fernando Moletta is a visual artist and researcher (FBAUL). He holds a Master's degree from the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Lisbon. His artistic practice arises from an exploration of the challenges posed by modernism in contemporary times. Through an examination of temporal concepts and their intersections, he delves into the themes of failure, biopolitics, allegorical plasticity, and technological noise. These notions manifest as specters, hovering and intertwining to form a hybrid body of work that encompasses video, sculpture, and drawing. His recent exhibitions include solo shows such as "Three Sad Flawed" at the Gallery of the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Lisbon and "O que há entre o acima e o abaixo?" at the Museum of Art of Blumenau (Brazil), as well as group exhibitions including the 14th International Biennial of Contemporary Art in Curitiba (Brazil), "Drifting Time Misplaced" at Mono (Lisbon), "New future" at Industra (Brno, Czech Republic), and the 50th Contemporary Art Salon Luis Sacilotto (Santo André, Brazil). He has also participated in video and cinema festivals such as "Caminhos do Cinema Português" (Coimbra, Portugal) and the 36th Stuttgarter Filmwinter - Festival for Expanded Media (Stuttgart, Germany). He has taken part in artistic residencies at Duplex AiR (Lisbon) and Stalker/Mattatoio (Rome). His work has received awards and is part of the institutional collection at the Museum of Art of Goiânia (Brazil).
