Solo exhibition at Janaina Torres Gallery, São Paulo, BRA
17.10 to 15.12.2018
Based on Georges Perec's 1985 book Think / Classify, the exhibition intends to reconstruct - in an almost detective-like way - the chronology of a life from the material waste accumulated over the years. The more than 3000 items in the repertoire range from old clothes to photocopies of college texts, including kitchen utensils, books, catalogs, family photos, and bills, receipts, and bills. By making memory (and oblivion) pass through the filter of the external world, the exhibition sets out to be less of a personal museum of the artist and more of a common archive of a shared generation.
