Flutuações Pendentes (“Pending Fluctuations”) is the resumption of a project that the artist has pending, and which has in its genesis the Azorean roots. The project originally orbited around the buoy, a floating object that can generate an image between the comic and the deep, given its diverse formats and functions, ranging, for example, from the life buoy to the recreational buoy in the form of a crocodile. Another factor that instigates Margarida Fragueiro to research this object, and others related, is the eventual appearance of barnacles in the part of the buoy that is in contact with the sea, a process that makes her think about the power of the context/environment in the being. On her last trip to Faial, she went in search of buoys and in this project she intends to expand this search to other islands, as well as collect other objects and sounds. The purpose is to use the collected materials as inspiration and elements of the work itself, which the artist foresees it will take the form of a sound installation, to allow the exploration of the environments that surround the buoy, floating between facts and imagination.
