“Coníferas” by André Almeida e Sousa – 19/04 – 14/06/2024

“This exhibition, Conifers, presents itself in its original life as a poetic interrogation. The pieces are your way of guarding the path. Materials plucked from helplessness where you throw yourself for another breath and rehearse the answer when the law touches you.
It’s God’s laughter that you place on us in a cardboard claw.
Finally, you sweep up the ashes and pay the bill.” 
(Flávia Germano Barra)
