This is a project called “Matão”, its proposal is to combine the photography in loco with the photographic editing in order to create a fictional/futuristic environment where the plants completely enclose cultural spaces, more precisely recognizable art museums. This environment is built with the fusion of the image of the museum in its usual urban landscape, or even if not urban, a landscape where the plants are “under control”, and an environment of primary or secondary forest, where the most diverse kinds of vegetation control the landscape.
Thus, through interweaving two extremely opposite images, I seek to create an environment where these spaces are enclosed and covered by plants in a dense forest in a dystopian scenario pos Anthropocene.

Matão

A relationship between a couple is here been illustrated by an old children's game: ducking for apples.
This work is part of a series that talks about life together, desire, and relationship, through elements like water and mirrors, settled in a circular shape.
A process that creates a kind of rite of passage, of detachment and transformation.
