Regressão
São Paulo, 2021
Painting and scraping on glass
Regressão begins with the museum underexposed to natural light, since the glass façade on the first floor is painted matte black. Then a team of young artists – the Regressors – start to remove the dark filter, working daily for 3 months, scratching out figures and patterns, overlapping drawings and texts, and cutting out shapes until total transparency. While this is happening, the sound of the avenue is captured by a microphone and amplified in real time inside the museum: an indistinct rumble that over the days gains volume as the building recovers its transparency, bringing a resonant presence of the city.
