The work is part of the Percorrer Tempos e Ver as Mesmas Coisas [Exploring Ages and Seeing the Same Things] series, in which the artist draws on iconographic research on Brazil’s colonial and imperial past, investigating the photography, architecture and arts of those historical periods and bringing into private settings the collective imagination of a decadent but permanent slave society. It thus explores the self-feeding resilience of a social structure that survives historical evolution.
