Look through, cut out, classify, store. These image gathering and collating procedures do not really correspond to the strict work of archivists, for whom there has to be a limit on variants in order to rationalize the various means of searching reference data. The Collector is more flexible and shifting, it weaves thematic patterns; it shuttles back to review and reclassify a sequence that may suddenly catch its attention.

in The Collector (since 1998) you have created the concept of an archive of newspaper images, you have selected the materials, and worked as an archivist, creating fictional categories to classify the images as historical documents. What is compelling for you about archives? Are you attracted by the aura of historical documents? Are you interested in creating a pseudoscientific artistic language?Mabe Bethônico: I am interested in the fictional potential of documents, displacing their importance, recontextualizing them. The projects are narratives, built through appropriated or constructed images and texts. I am interested in looking for gaps, lacks, sometimes through what may be hidden, forgotten, focusing on commenting on the institution, its relationship with the public for instance, as was the case for the 27th Bienal de São Paulo. http://www.28bienalsaopaulo.org.br/participant/mabe-bethonico
