Sei Miguel – Livro Das Imagens – Book

Homem Do Saco/Marmita De Gigante

The drawings assembled in “Livro das Imagens” (Book of Images) are loaded with the same rigor, forcefulness and expressive economy that characterize Sei Miguel’s sound. In their singleness, these are drawings “from the middle of the street”, as “from the middle of the street” is Sei’s music, not only in the sense that they do not want to (and never let themselves be) sheltered, but also in the sense that they were created to live and act in this place of communion and encounter that is the public space. Paradoxical as it may seem, these are pop drawings – as pop as the ideal that in the 1960’s envisioned the ecumenical encounter of culture, the place of the confluence of genres and the mixing of artistic positions, where all signs would finally inhabit the common ground of their free interpotentiation and the democratization of their senses.
