CHRONICLES OF AN INVISIBLE EXEBITION
Rio de Janeiro, 2013. By the time I had created Cara Carioca, I had also created my own tool: the subway. Forty stations, 1.8 million passengers a day. An ideal group for researching the profile of the people of Rio de Janeiro, the Cariocas, who would also be the public at the exhibition, a huge exhibition in a giant gallery: the Carioca subway station in Rio de Janeiro. But I just didn’t have 46 sponsors… Rio de Janeiro, 2016. A chronicle is a short report set in time and the subject is generally only partly insinuated. Readers must use their imagination and draw their own conclusions. A photo, a painting, a text, each in its own way is a snapshot of a person. Whatever it may be, there is a link that connects the moment to the being, and that is what counts. That’s why, the way I see it, paintings, photographs and texts are chronicles.
