Grilles, glass, mirrors, and metal structures
Variable dimensions
Using items associated with building construction and urban security devices, André Komatsu creates an installation that oscillates between openness and obstruction, transparency and confinement, exploring the relationships between architecture, power, and social control. The work shows how contemporary environments are organized by mechanisms of surveillance, segregation, and protection that define everyday life in cities.

At Usina de Arte: Autômatos (2017-2025)
Part of a generation shaped by Brazil's return to democracy and by the neoliberal policies of the 1990s, the artist, born in São Paulo where he lives and works, addresses the relationships between urban space, power, social conflict and forms of domination, making construction and demolition materials the central elements of his sculptures and installations.
