Insólido

A hypothetical and sculptural view of the virus. The proposal involves not only realizing the impossibilities of moving the body, but also the specifics of the deformity, as a result of analyzing how our physical lives and gestures change and will change as a result of this pandemic. Between receiving the public, creating a party / concert and coexistence in a distant and safe environment. To be able to look at terror with different eyes, never forgetting what is coming and what has been.

"The truth is that if I could, I would disappear, like this puff! Once and for all. (...) It is hard to accept so if I could I would disappear! But I cannot ... And I will not lie or spread false hopes because. .. It will not be easy."

in The Viral Interview, 2020, Mariana Nobre Vieira
