Tickets and official information
Finally, the good news: “Embruxados & Desterrados” is coming—we’ll have a new solo exhibition in Florianópolis! From December 2 to February 13, my works will be at @berlin.floripa
“We are all strangers to ourselves.” This phrase accompanies an exhibition that finds, in the island’s imaginary world, its witches and hauntings, a way of looking at what is also strange within us.
It will be a joy to welcome you and share this work with you up close. The exhibition will be open Tuesday through Saturday, from 13h30 to 1h.
Help me spread the word: tag a friend who’d like to see the exhibition and share the invitation. I hope to see you there!
“The knowledge of the unconscious is knowledge without a fixed home.” Every attempt to define a home stumbles over what escapes us. Around Florianópolis, formerly Nossa Senhora do Desterro, the original name bears the stigma of exile and, beneath the veil of Azorean folklore, holds an underground pact with the witchly and with the fundamental exile of every being.
The islander and the outsider, the native and the foreigner are made equal before these images. The imaginary barrier that tries to raise walls of exclusion against the xénos (stranger/foreigner) collapses the moment we understand that the monster feared outside lives in our own depths. We are the bernunça; its lurching legs are our own lame, wounded feet—Oedipus’s, in perpetual wandering.
Embruxados e desterrados invites the viewer to hold their gaze before the uncanny horror that unsettles us.”
