Life in Reverse / A Vida a Andar Para Trás

1 sound

[PT] “Life In Reverse” surgiu da observação do cruzamento entre a Rua de São Lázaro e a Rua José António Serrano. Na segunda, de sentido único, descem vários carros, motoristas com entregas, carrinhas e utentes do Hospital de São José. Frequentemente, ambulâncias que passam o Martim Moniz optam por contrariar o habitual fluxo do trânsito naquela rua no acesso a uma das entradas do hospital, tendo habitualmente que esperar pela descida de vários carros, que não optam por fazer marcha-a-trás. Daqui surgiu a ideia de gravar o som junto a esta mesmo entrada do Hospital, e reverter o som como se a vida estivesse a andar para trás e nos ocorressem as múltiplas memórias num ritmo acelerado.

[EN] “Life In Reverse” origined from the observation of the intersection between Rua de São Lázaro and Rua José António Serrano. In the second, one-way, several cars descend, motorbike drivers with deliveries, vans and users of the Hospital de São José. Often, ambulances passing Martim Moniz choose to go against the usual flow of traffic on that street in accessing one of the hospital entrances, usually having to wait for several cars to descend, which do not choose to reverse and let room for the ambulance. From here came the idea of recording the sound next to this same entrance to the Hospital, and reversing it as if life were moving backwards and multiple memories flashed at very fast pace.
