Industrial cord, map wooden box 60x40x8cm.
From the ‘Geographical Mutations’ series

A conceptual artist, who questions the “physical, geometric, psychological, topographical and anthropological” boundries producing work which calls into question and refuses to be restricted by the political, physical or geographical, boundries. This small leather case, displaying a map of Brazil, combines and contains the earth from the borders of the two opposing states of Rio and Sao Paulo. This work is also a personnal reflection on this Brazilian artists childhood.
