Paisagem (Landscape),
2021

Digital print on glass and metal structure
2.5 x 9.6 x 8.4 m

A labyrinth of transparent glass offers an unsettling experience. Distributed across the panels, images of bullet holes are reproduced through digital processes, creating the impression of shots passing through the space. Always placed at the same height, the impacts seem aimed at the body of the visitor, who moves through the installation among transparencies, reflections, and signs of an invisible threat. What appears from a distance to be a serene landscape turns out, up close, to be permeated by everyday violence.
