QUANTO MAIS PRO VERMELHO
Mixed media
Variable dimensions

ABOUT THE WORK:
The work addresses the political moment in Brazil, marked by a repulse for the red colour, which is related to leftist ideas. The phenomenon is directly linked to the recent escalation of fascism in the country.
Referring to the famous installation by Brazilian conceptual artist Cildo Meirelles. “Red Shift*”, comprised of 3 rooms filled with red objects, is a work open to a wide range of interpretations, including with ideological symbolisms as a metaphor for violence and blood.
“Quanto mais pro Vermelho” is a triptych representing the three dimensions proposed by Meirelles: Impregnation, Surrounds and Shift. In 2022, the work was enlarged with a table of red objects to reflect on the Brazilian elections of that year.
