Film still of INFRA-DRAWING, single channel video, HD, color, stereo, Tiny Domingos 2024
July 11 – August 8, Installation, Durham Art Gallery
Le travail artistique de Tiny Domingos explore l’interaction entre les domaines physique et numérique, remettant en question les notions traditionnelles d’espace, d’incarnation et de connexion humaine. La pensée poétique, l’histoire naturelle, les micro-gestes de ses dernières vidéos sont des invitations pour un retour amont (René Char). La sensibilité, le jeu et la créativité y sont mis en lumière comme chemins vers la reconnexion avec la condition terrestre et la co-formation de futurités. Partant du concept d’identité plurielle et transcorporéelle, des sauts quantiques et des processus métamorphosiques prônent la prise de risque et la curiosité comme dépassement et décentrement.
Tiny Domingos’ artistic work explores the interaction between the physical and digital realms, challenging traditional notions of space, embodiment and human connection. In his latest videos, poetic thinking, natural history and micro-gestures are invitations to return upstream (René Char). Sensitivity, playfulness and creativity are highlighted as paths to reconnection with the terrestrial condition and the co-formation of futurities. Based on the concept of plural and transcorporeal identitiy, Quantum leaps and metamorphic processes advocate risk-taking and curiosity as a means of transcending and decentering.
FLANK COLLAPSE, single channel video, HD, color, stereo, 2:52, 2019
In September 2019, Tiny Domingos traveled to the island of Stromboli accompanying Tulli Ricci, a researcher from the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV, Italy) to the Sciara del fuoco – the famous slope where the smoking rocks ejected by the Stromboli volcano fall directly into the Tyrrhenian Sea. FLANK COLLAPSE focuses on this millenarian flow which impresses with its radical simplicity and beauty, inviting us to silence.

INFRA-TOUCHING, single channel video, HD, color, stereo, 14 :22 min. ,2023
INFRA-TOUCHING explores the natural need to touch and be touched – tactilely and emotionally – in the digital age. It extends the Duchampian concept of ‘infra-thin’ (French: infra-mince) to identify new paths towards emotional and planetary health. This approach aims to slow down and reinforce intensity through subtraction and micro-perception. An opportunity to move towards a reconnection with the terrestrial condition by awakening the senses and paying new attention to the almost imperceptible breaths, exhalations and friction that surround us, inhabit us and are constitutive of our bodies, our well-being and that of the eco-systems we share. Original music by Pratyay Raha.
