Installation
Brazil’s Rodrigo Matheus participates in the Festival with site-specific works distributed across the exhibition space, suggesting bridges with the artworks by other guest artists, acting as a sort of amalgam of the exhibit. Appropriating industrial artifacts or organic materials found in urban centers and in nature, Rodrigo Matheus creates sculptural bodies that deal with the hybrid culture-nature connections. In operating juxtapositions or putting these elements against each other, the artist breaks the logic of mass production and explores new possibilities of representing the very notion of functionality, creating defamiliarization and giving new meanings to technologies viewers were familiar with before. His work is featured in collections such as those of the Instituto Inhotim and the Museu de Arte Moderna de São Paulo.
