PIMENTA (Alberto). [DUAS COLAGENS: «META POROSA» E «CARTA DE AMOR N.º 6»]. S.l. s.d. [c. 1980-1990] / 1985. - PIMENTA (Alberto) [DUAS COLAGENS: «META POROSA» E «CARTA DE AMOR N.º 6»] . S.l.: s.n., s.d. [c. 1980-1990] / 1985. 2 ff.: il.; 300×210 mm. A collection of two glued-together electrographs of visual poetry by Alberto Pimenta (Porto, 1937), one of the most radical and unclassifiable figures in contemporary Portuguese culture, whose work spans poetry, performance, theatre, satire, linguistics and visual arts. ”Porous Meta” is a photomontage that overlays a street scene photograph with cut-out printed text and the word ”CONNECTION” superimposed on the figures' faces, with a caption in small print that constitutes a prose poem about the word, the poet, and the hyphen. Below the image, the isolated phrase: ”I don't understand, I clearly separate the concepts.” ”Love Letter No. 6” (1985) belongs to a series of collages in which Pimenta superimposes illegible, feverish, and compulsive-looking handwritten text with vertical black bars that rhythmically interrupt and censor it. A rare and highly valued collection. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
