The cartography of mistery

​

2018/2020

 

For the first time in Latin America, the show presents the work of one of the main artists of Narrative Art, Mac Adams. The selection presents the Brazilian public with 17 diptychs of the iconic Mysteries series, in addition to the site-specific installation Cartography of a crime. Mac Adams has developed a work in two or three dimensions, which explores the narrative potential of photography and installation in the composition of mysterious scenes. His work mixes references from the tales of Wales where he was born, the Arthur Conan Doyle novels, Alfred Hitchcock's cinema and cinema noir. Like a storyteller, the artist uses photos and objects in close semiotic relationship, urging the viewer to penetrate the space / time between works.

​

The exhibition also counts on the participation of authors of different nationalities, invited to write texts inspired by some of the works chosen by curators.
