Exposição

Imagem: Danilo Galvão

A studio, a workshop, heaped materials. A woman prepares to make a plaster cast. She covers her body with this pasty matter and waits. The plaster breaks. Others materials wrap the body, limit and transform her, creating grotesque beings in constant mutation. Mirages of something that was forgotten or simply hidden. Figures that inhabit this woman and that she embraces.

“Figure” from latin: Figura, from the theme fingere: to mold, to model.
Exposição is a multidisciplinary performance that dwells on the conflict between the public and private self of women in contemporary Western society.
