| description | This paper is concerned with intangible cultural heritage as performance, and its representations in ethnographic museums as metaperformance. It focuses on the need to use images in movement, following artistic-documentary video practices, as a manner of exhibiting anthropological content. Firstly, I will present theoretical arguments for the importance of using visual material in representing cultural elements that are also visual, in particular in the case of non-verbal communication. Then I will exemplify my reflection by applying it to the specific case of the exhibition The Carnival is a Stage, The Island a Feast held at the National Museum of Ethnology in Lisbon, at the Angra do Heroísmo Museum (Azores), and at the Espaço do Conhecimento - Museum of the Federal University of Minas Gerais (Belo Horizonte, Brazil), in which I portrayed the Carnival Dances of the island of Terceira through a multichannel video installation with various projections. |
