Provenance

Private collection.

Literature

We know operates in the political sphere, when artists perpetuate, through a gesture of suspension, the incessant search to make public hidden archives from truculent times such as the dictatorship in Brazil, and recent cases that remain unanswered, even though we know of the existence of these contents.
During the installation, the "dead archive", a box commonly used to store important archives, appears worn and dented, cast in iron, preventing it from being opened completely.
Looking through the cracks of the sealed box, what remains is only the rust caused by time, presenting the void as an answer to the contents that is never revealed.
The emptiness of the cast-iron box is also the weight that strains the chains and hands that hold it, like the various boxes that still remain suspended today.
