em busca de Averróis, João Cristóvão Leitão
(2021)
Synopsis
Images from my family archive remind me of a text by Borges. Little by little, I transform Averrois into my grandfather, my grandfather into Borges and Borges into me. In this movement, it becomes increasingly difficult to look at any one of them without also glimpsing all the others.
