Crucificação e Deposição de Cristo (“Cruxifition and Deposition of Christ”) (2019) enacts an inhospitable context of intimacy between the image, the viewer and the author.

Constructs an essay on the dissolvable vulnerability and awareness of the Human Condition in the Contemporary. The artist deprives herself of 72 hours of sleep, in order to finally rest in the exhibition space.

Reflecting on the collective visual heritage, the artist builds a model of transcendence through the voyeur dissonance of the work and its experience. The reference to the artist’s body and personal life as a vulnerable object, charge the viewer with the power of divinity and critical empowerment.
This work is currently part of the Jeune Création Européenne 2019-2021 Bienalle D’Art Contemporain - an itinerant exhibition through Europe, presenting this piece until 2021 in eight different countries: France, Denmark, Latvia, Romania, Italy, Spain and Portugal.
