Uiler Costa-Santos (1983) is a visual artist and educator in the city of Salvador / BA, where he lives and works. His research proposes, through photography and the study of images, an interlocution between the imaginary of the landscape and the policies of redistribution of the sensitive by the abstraction.
His production uses the image as an aesthetic vehicle, providing the body with different experiences of perception as of common and everyday spaces, giving back possibilities of political-geographic imagination. Since 2017, the artist has dedicated himself to the “Sizígia” series, a research carried out through aerial photography of the Itaparica channel, a region on the coast of Bahia, where he follows different reliefs and the movements of the tide and builds new ways of apprehending the local landscape. He has collaborated with vehicles such as National Geographic Brasil and National Geographic Traveler UK, Four Seasons, Salvador's Tourism Board, among others. He is a guest columnist for the Iphoto Channel and the Portuguese blog Fotografia DG and, since 2015, he has been teaching photography courses with an emphasis on technique and poetic research. His art work is represented by Paulo Darzé Galeria (BR) and Art & Emotion (CH).

SIZIGIA: THE COSMOLOGY OF THE LOW TIDE
From the Latin SYZYGIA, from the Greek SYZIGÍA, “union, pair, set”, from SYN-, “together”.
Sizigias are moments of connection in which sea, soil and rivers, build new reliefs and geographies. In moments of Sizígia, when the alignment of three bodies belonging to a gravity system occurs, something common in the collective unconscious appears as a revelation. Sizígia is also a meeting. It is the space-time in which different forms of non-human life react to the synchronized movement of the cosmos to produce its flows, destinations, reliefs and maps. It is in Sizígias that the landscape is transmuted, allowing to perceive the daily life and its constant capacity for creation.

"I have always been enchanted by the landscapes. The experience before them makes me feel something that, perhaps, not even being there I would feel. This interest in observing everyday spaces through new perspectives originates from the potential that the senses have to guide us in reading reality, allowing us to expand it even when we face its most amazing version. To paraphrase the geography of Milton Santos: ‘All that we see, what our vision achieves, is the landscape (…) Not only shapen of volumes, but also of colors, movements, smells, sounds (...)”. And being able to think of landscapes as a crossing is what allows us to recognize that everything is connected."
