Limit and Utopia: Revisiting the Beach as a Threshold

Pages 219-230 | Published online: 06 Jan 2014
 

ABSTRACT

Despite the illusionary training of the senses, the beach will always remain the line of tension which confronts the orchestrated order of the horizon and the audible imminence of chaos. Consequently, it is our goal to enlighten how the beach can be conceptualized as threshold, as a result of the correlation between its atmosphere and its material. Noronha da Costa emerges here as the secret expression of the beach and its auratic effect, revealing through his paintings the narrative dimension of the seashore.
