Synopsis:

Permanent service; labour; lavor; victory cake; body of stone; the fiasco of smoke through intervals of laughter; image body; the part for the whole; models of tautology; liquid snow falls; sighing tasty dreams; excavated cavities; mending for mending's sake; free patches; I was running away and fell *. These are not keywords, they are fragments and small parts of a whole, which is how this exhibition presents itself. Paths that lead nowhere, residues and surpluses of a past activity, traces, alternating points of view, landscapes. And the search for a body that is not present, but we know existed. Did it exist? All we know about the body that fell there are the marks on the ground, the only evidence of its physical presence. We see the concavity marked by the forehead, elbows and knees. They say that the devil fell there, on a rock, in São Salvador do Mundo.

In Body of Stone, a series of image-objects is proposed, based on observations of everyday spaces, both personal and collective, in a search for what is absent, what is missing in what we see. Various versions of what is not visible, of what has disappeared and been silenced, are part of the narratives present in the pieces, which explore relationships between different points of view, their authorial character, and the connections between image and medium.
